Amazon said Amazon Pharmacy plans to open pharmacies in 20 new cities across the U.S. in 2025, more than doubling the number of cities where customers can get Same-Day Delivery of their medications. Amazon is leveraging its vast logistics network and advanced automation technology to solve one of pharmacy’s biggest pain points: the lack of convenient, affordable access to medications. The new pharmacies will be embedded in Amazon Same-Day Delivery sites, enabling faster delivery of medication directly to a customer’s door. Amazon Pharmacy is a digital-first pharmacy offering a simple ordering experience, 24/7 access to a pharmacist. With the expansion into new cities, customers in Boston, Dallas, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, San Diego, and other metropolitan areas will soon enjoy fast, free delivery of their medications. Other cities will be announced in the coming months. Amazon Pharmacy customers already receive their medications in two days or less on average. By the end of 2025, nearly half of U.S. customers are expected to be eligible for Same-Day of their prescription medications. In most cases, that means a customer can order medication by 4 p.m. and receive it at home by 10 p.m.
