Ohio’s Hometown
Drugstore

Serving our neighbors since 1969,
saving you the runaround.

Locally owned.

Ohio grown.

Community focused.

Discount Drug Mart opened its first store in Elyria, Ohio in 1969 with a simple promise: make life easier for our neighbors. Founded by pharmacist Parviz Boodjeh, we brought together the care of a pharmacy with the convenience of a neighborhood store all under one roof.

Our History

57 years later, that promise hasn’t changed. We’re proud to call Ohio home, with 79 locations across more than 20 counties, and 4,700 employees, serving our communities every day.

What Makes Us
Different

We save you the runaround and save you money! From prescriptions to household staples, groceries to greeting cards, we’ve got it all right here at prices you’ll love. With more than 60,000 items in store, you can easily get in, grab what you need, and get on your way.

What really sets us apart is the experience. You will always find a friendly cashier ready to help, never a self-checkout, and team members throughout the store available when you need them. Our stores are designed to be easy to navigate, so you can get in and out quickly while still finding everything on your list. It is that hometown feel of personal service, combined with the everyday convenience of picking up your prescription and everything else in one stop.

Care You Can Count On

Our pharmacists fill millions of prescriptions each year, delivering care you can trust with a personal connection you can feel. You can speak directly with your pharmacist whenever you need guidance, whether it’s answering questions or helping manage your medications. We also offer immunizations, disease management programs, and convenient medication synchronization to help keep all your prescriptions on track and easy to manage.

Community

We’re more than a drugstore; we’re part of your neighborhood. From local fundraisers to health initiatives and charitable giving, we’ve always believed in supporting the communities that support us. Learn more about our commitment to our communities.
