Check out anywhere in the US more than 100 miles from an Ocean

There are fewer than 20k such pharmacies, for 3k counties in the US. So fewer than 7 per county. It's safe to say they are gone for good.

Also, consider the fact that at least 40% of the population lives within 100 miles of a coast, perhaps more.
