"Drugstore"[edit]

In North America, a "drugstore" is a business primarily identified by its focus on selling drugs, especially prescription drugs. Drugstores also tend to sell many beauty products, but a store that sells only beauty products wouldn't be called a drugstore. I'm unaware of usage of the term "drugstore" elsewhere for other purpose; its use here is confusing. Olive Young is certainly not the first store in South Korea that, in North American English, would be called a drugstore and, possibly, isn't what would be called a drugstore at all. So I suggest changing the term to one that a broad selection of English speakers would use to describe the business. Largoplazo (talk) 17:03, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

'Drugstore' is a retail service that allows people to buy health foods, beauty products, and other foods (beverages, etc.) in a short time by focusing on medicines that can be sold without needing a doctor's prescription. For example, the famous 'sephora' in North America. Indeed, in many news and Internet dictionaries, Olive Young is classified as a drug store.

You can buy aspirin at Sephora? Anyway, drugstore also, if not only, means "pharmacy", so the original content stating that Olive Young was South Korea's first "drugstore" was incorrect or, at best, confusing. If someone wants to state that it was the first something, it would be necessary to come up with a term that identifies that type of store and that excludes pharmacies.

Okay. I have to admit that the term drugstore can cause confusion and amend it in other terms. [@Largoplazo: (talk)
