Hudacko’s Pharmacy

Love the new location. They have a bit of everything here! You can get your medication, a nice gift and even a DVD here. And at Xmas, they carry the Bayonne Xmas ornaments which they will even ship if you call! Friendly service. Love this place!

This drugstore is a Bayonne fixture, and as a high school student many years ago, I used to hang around this drug store waiting for my friends to get off work. I was so taken by the entire situation that I eventually became a licensed pharmacist myself. Recently, they moved from the original location diagonally across the block and I went into the new store to get my Rx filled. Although the front is more spacious, I didn’t like the prescription department arrangement. Only the initial intake area is visible to the customer, while the rest of the prescription area is hidden behind a wall with a one-​way window. The clerk gives each waiting customer a tag that rings when the Rx is ready to be picked up. It seems less personal now than before, which is so counterintuitive. Why go to a local business, if the service is the same as the big chain store? Sorry to say, no one recognizes me here, and I can’t recommend it as highly as some other local drugstores, even if it does look more updated.
