Ballygunge Drug Centre

Our place is located right over by the ice skating ring in Ballygunge. It’s a pretty well-known landmark, so people don’t usually have trouble finding us at number 22. We’ve stayed in this same spot for years. The area is always moving, lots of traffic and people going to the park. Inside the shop, it’s mostly just rows of medicine and the usual health supplies people ask for. We aren't trying to be the biggest store in the city or anything. We just provide what we can to the neighbors. Sometimes the rain makes the street outside a bit of a mess, but we’re always open anyway. The staff here isn't large. Just a couple of us who know the inventory pretty well. If you come in, you’ll probably see the same faces every time. We don't spend money on big signs or fancy lights. The old sign works fine. We keep records in our own way, mostly paper and a bit of computer work. It’s a quiet business mostly, except for when the school kids go by. We handle prescriptions and over-the-counter stuff. It feels like a part of the neighborhood fabric now. Nothing really changes much year to year, which is fine by us. We just keep the doors open and help the people who walk in from the park or the nearby flats. It is a simple way to spend the day.
