Help Bring Independent Pharmacy Care Back to Coronado

Hello Coronado neighbors,

My name is Arash Kohan, and for more than 15 years I’ve had the privilege of caring for this community as a pharmacist. Many of you know me from my years at the Rite Aid here on the island.

With fewer pharmacies now serving Coronado, access has become harder—long lines, limited options, and challenges for seniors and families who need timely care.

That’s why I am opening Crown Coast Pharmacy, an independent, locally owned pharmacy dedicated to restoring convenient access, personalized service, and strong community-focused care.

Where We Are Now

The vision, business plan, and location are in place. To move forward with securing the lease and completing licensing, renovations, and setup, I am accepting voluntary community donations to help support these startup efforts.
