Can anyone tell me if there is a 24 hour Pharmacy inside the Urban Core?

I was trying to get some OTC medication early this morning and had to settle for going to a 7-11 because the CVS and Walgreens I tried to go to were closed.

If there aren't any that are open 24 hours does anyone have an explanation for this?

No clue. Surely there's enough rooftops to make it practical. We have two 24 hr ops in Norman that come to mind right off - a CVS in the NW quadrant and a Walgreen's on the western fringe of the town's core. Possibly another Walgreen's on the southeast side is 24 hours. As I rarely ever have any reason to wander that way, the SE quadrant may as well be a different city.

I wouldn't call it in the urban core, but the Walgreen's at Rockwell and Hefner on the far NW side is open 24 hours, 365 days a year.

Del City Walgreens is open 24 hours, so is the CVS on 44th and Western.

The CVS in MWC on 15th stupidly stopped it after one lame robbery. When CVS stopped, the Walgreens across the street also stupidly followed.

Also, it is handy-dandy to access CVS and Walgreens online to show which stores open 24 hours.

Walmart stores all open 24 hours with easy access to OTC meds, which are ultimately cheaper.

I can only assume the CVS and Walgreens at Classen/23rd isn't 24 hours because of a robbery or some other crime.

I totally forgot about Walmart, it looks like the Neighborhood Walmart at Penn/23rd is 24 hours so I suppose that's where I'll get my meds late at night from now on.

Still surprises me that there isn't one single 24 hour CVS or Walmart in the Urban Core.

Bingo!... I've asked both the 23rd street stores as to why they aren't 24 hour and both said because of crime.

And that is stupid. Crime happens everywhere. We don't see Walmart closing.

Drug stores must open 24/7/365/+1.
