Magazine: A pharmacy with six decades of service

NCPA February 24, 2026

Colonial Pharmacy is part of the bedrock of New London, N.H. This cutting-edge community pharmacy started nearly 60 years ago and has long taken a creative approach to finding new products and services to offer. For example, it sells women's clothes because, for whatever reason, those stores don't do well in town. It's that kind of entrepreneurial spirit that has helped Colonial become a beloved community institution. You can learn more about Colonial, including the standout services it provides, in this month's issue of America's Pharmacist®.
