Meet 501 Pharmacy’s Lovable “Drug Bug”!

If you live in the Chapel Hill area, there is a good chance you have seen our 501 Pharmacy “Drug Bug” zooming around, providing our clients with fast, free prescription delivery!

Nicknamed from one of our favorite family movies, “Herbie,” if the Drug Bug is not out making a delivery, you can find it parked at home base in front of the pharmacy at 69 Knox Way, Suite 110, in Chapel Hill. Our VW Beetle is hard to miss with its Argyle racing stripe running up the side and a large helping of our tasty Maple View Ice Cream in a bowl on top of the bug and on the doors.

Keep your eyes open for the 501 Pharmacy VW Beetle around town delivering your prescriptions for free!

Get a Visit From the Drug Bug

If you live or work within a five-mile radius of 501 Pharmacy (69 Knox Way, Suite 110
Chapel Hill, NC 27516), you already qualify for free pharmacy delivery from our Drug Bug! However, if your needs fall outside of that five-mile radius, we will gladly consider your address on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to us to inquire!

We know that sometimes you do not have time to make it to the pharmacy to pick up your prescriptions so we want to make it as convenient and fun for you as possible. Skip the hassle of dealing with online pharmacies and instead get the benefits of working with a local pharmacy, who also happens to offer free local delivery!

If you have an urgent need, we can even get your prescription to you that very same day. Going out of town? We can stop by before you leave. The best part is – no delivery fees! The Drug Bug loves getting out and about and we love making things easier on you!
