Grubb’s Southeast Pharmacy & Mini Mart in Historic Anacostia wants you to know that they are open during normal business hours but they STRONGLY recommend that you call and have your medications scheduled for FREE DELIVERY. Grubb’s want to protect their staff from COVID-19 transmission so they would prefer to process your orders over the phone at (202) 503-3610 or email  Rxinfo@grubbsse.com , they accepted credit cards.

So out of an abundance of caution, the pharmacy and minimart is enacting the following COVID-19 safety protocols which I am including below:

1. Only can allow 3 customers at a time inside the store.

2. Save distancing must be practiced inside the store.

3. There will be a waiting line outside the store, not inside if there are more than 3 people needing service.

4. Grubb’s encourage the delivery of your prescriptions along with needed over the counter drugs instead of coming to the store to pick up your prescriptions.

More good news, last Saturday, Grubb’s s Pharmacy had PPE such as surgical masks ($5/each) and gloves. Due to increased demand across the country, manufacturers have increased the prices and therefore Grubb’s has to pay more to get them in stock, unfortunately, they have to charge more to cover the cost. That said, The Advoc8te feels that $5 is well worth the price to have a clean mask for my limited trips out of my apartment to throw out the trash and get the mail. As long as I keep my trips short and avoid people I find I can reuse my mask for a week provided I store it and keep it clean and dry.

If you having medicine delivered you can order other items to be included in your delivery order. Just call and place your order all at one time.

More good news, Grubb’s has aloe vera and alcohol wipes and is expecting an order of sanitizer and N95 masks! Support this Ward 8 small business and keep you and your family safe and healthy in the process!
