Is a separate license required for each pharmacy location?

In Minnesota, each pharmacy location must possess its own individual license to operate legally. This requirement ensures that all pharmacy establishments meet the state’s regulatory and safety standards, which include ensuring the proper handling and dispensing of medications. Each pharmacy is inspected and must comply with specific statutes and regulations that may vary depending on the nature of the services they provide and their locations. Having separate licenses helps maintain high standards for public health and safety across different areas where pharmacies operate.

The other responses do not reflect the licensing requirements established by the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy, as compliance is not based on size parameters or geographical considerations alone. Each pharmacy’s operational status is checked independently, reinforcing the need for individualized licenses regardless of any other factors.
