Three generations, one family.

Since opening our doors in the Stadium District, our family has been honoured to care for yours. The pharmacist who greets you today might have learned from a parent or grandparent behind this very counter.

That’s why we’ll never rush you. That’s why we listen. And that’s why we still answer the phone ourselves.

Rankos is the BEST pharmacy I have ever experienced. I'm 73 and have used many pharmacies in my life. ALL the staff at Rankos (where I've been going for 18 years now) are very friendly, very helpful, and very knowledgeable.

SSteve

I've used this pharmacy for almost 2 years, all of the staff are always friendly and very helpful with any questions. They fill prescriptions pretty quickly for being a small establishment too.

AAnonymous

I love having my prescriptions filled here. Way more personable than one of the chain pharmacies, and I never have to wait in a long line of impatient people. Staff are friendly and helpful.

DDrew

I recently transferred all my medications to Rankos from a defunct chain. What a good move that was. No long waits, pleasant first-class service, and great prices. I highly recommend this family-owned pharmacy.

DDee Dee

I come here for meds for all my current mental health diagnoses. Controlled and regular are both filled without issue, very smooth and streamlined process. The staff is all very kind and I have not had a single bad experience with any of them.

JJaydee

A rare family-owned pharmacy, and the best one I've ever used. They're friendly, super fast, and even offer free delivery if you need that service. Plus they have an adorable selection of gifts.

RRachael

I have been shopping at Rankos since I was a child with my mother. The staff is always friendly, asking how they can help me. I often buy gifts at Rankos that I can't find anywhere else.
