Chatsworth's stretch of Topanga Canyon Boulevard has lots of small businesses, which considerably outnumber large retail chain stores. Alpha Pharmacy is a prime example.
It's a family-owned-and-operated pharmaceutical practice that provides customers with a level of personal attention that's hard to find at larger chain competitors. The atmosphere is that of a medical facility, as opposed to a crowded drug store.
This small but very service-oriented prescription filler's main angle is deliveries. Local residents, especially those who are home-bound with serious medical conditions, can simply call in refills that are delivered the same day.
