Publix Pharmacy debuts curbside pickup in select stores

Publix Pharmacy is rolling out curbside pickup at stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Virginia, with select pharmacies excluded.

North and South Carolina pharmacy locations plan to offer the service at a later date.

“Our customers enjoy the convenience of curbside pickup for their grocery orders, so we are excited to add prescriptions to that offering,” said Dain Rusk, Publix vice president of pharmacy. “Whether customers choose to shop in our stores or from the comfort of their cars, we are committed to providing the same great service from our pharmacies.”

Customers may select curbside pickup after prepaying for their prescriptions through the Publix Pharmacy app or online. Upon arrival, customers should park in the designated spaces for curbside pickup, call the number on the sign and inform customer service of their presence.

Curbside pickup for prescriptions is available during Publix Pharmacy hours of operation at no additional cost to the customer. Prescription costs and co-pays will be collected during the prepay process.
