How many does one town need?

There are about a dozen pharmacies in Morges, which means if you are standing in front of a pharmacy you can usually see at least one other pharmacy. Most of them seem to be small and independent, but one chain has 3 stores within 500 meters (think of Starbucks in Seattle).

Pharmacies normally only sell medication, baby items, and perfume. I don't think there is any medication sold at the average grocery store. Almost all medication is behind the counter, so we even have to ask for something like advil.
