Pali Rx Pharmacy reopened at 900 Via De La Paz on Monday, November 3, following a nearly 10-month closure following the Palisades fire.
“Thank you for your patience as our community is rebuilding,” read the store’s website. “Pali Rx Pharmacy is back open and ready to serve our customers.”
The store, located at the corner of Via De La Paz and Antioch Street, is offering the same services as before the fire. In addition to filling prescriptions, the pharmacy is also offering a selection of snacks, drinks and over-the-counter medicine. Plus, Pharmacy Technician Alaia Maniago said when speaking to the Palisadian-Post on Thursday, November 13, anything can be ordered for customers.
Pali Rx Pharmacy accepts “all insurance” and offers “compound prescription and skincare creams in store.” It is owned and operated by Jasmine Shabbouei, opening in August 2011 in a space previously occupied by McKiernan Pharmacy.
Maniago said they are offering pickup and delivery, with the pharmacy able to ship to customers— “anywhere, really”—who have been displaced following the fire.
Maniago said it is nice to be back, speaking with the pharmacy’s “loyal customers,” though she’s had many “hard conversations” following the fire. She has worked at the pharmacy for about three years. She described being close to the customers, as well as neighboring storefronts, including Juice Crafters and elysewalker.
The store is operating with limited hours: Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. For more information, visit palirx911.com or call 310-454-0377.
