Pill-Pharm is a pharmacy chain appearing in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.
Description[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
Pill-Pharm is well-established in the Liberty City metropolitan area, with three branches in Alderney, eight in Algonquin, two in Dukes, one in Bohan and one in Broker. The company runs multiple advertisements across the Liberty City metropolitan area, promoting a wide range of products under the phrase "Pik N' Mix" for $10 per kilo.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
Pill-Pharm has just one store in Los Santos.
Influence[]
Pill-Pharm appears to be a rendition of Duane Reade and Rite Aid, as well as other drugstores like Walgreens. The significant presence of Pill-Pharm in Liberty City and Alderney, in contrast to its minimal presence in Los Santos, may further allude to Duane Reade, which primarily serves the New York City metropolitan area.
Locations[]
- The Koresh Square branch in Alderney City is based on the now-closed Valu-Plus store formerly located at 697 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey.
- The Frankfort Avenue/Jade Street branch in Star Junction is based on the now-closed Duane Reade pharmacy formerly located at 661 8th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan.
- The Luddite Row in Lower Easton is based on the now-closed Fancy Pharmacy formerly located at 131 Essex Street in the Lower East Side.
- The Deadwood Street branch in South Slopes is modeled after the now-closed Rite Aid pharmacy formerly located at 725 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Trivia[]
- It is implied that Pill-Pharm is where Brucie Kibbutz sources his favored bull shark testosterone, as he is frequently seen standing outside a branch[vaguevagueWhich?] when Niko Bellic arrives to pick him up for activities.
- Three locations featured in Grand Theft Auto IV appear to have been vacated by the events of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars in 2009, specifically in the Industrial neighborhood of Bohan and the Lower Easton and Northwood neighborhoods of Algonquin.[2]
