The top 10 neighbors for Hannaford Pharmacy span six distinct subcategories — grocery stores, gas stations, convenience stores, a fellow pharmacy, a bank, and a hardware retailer — with no single category dominating the set. That breadth is the defining structural feature here.
Similarity scores measure how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition. Hannaford Supermarkets sits at 0.99, an exceptionally tight bond that reflects the co-located nature of the two brands. Below that, the scores spread across a wide range of retail and service types: Irving Oil (0.92) and Stewart's Shops (0.92) represent convenience and fuel; Weis Markets (0.88) is a fellow regional grocer; Weis Pharmacy (0.87) is the only other Pharmacies and Drugstores entry in the top 10; Price Chopper (0.86) adds another grocery neighbor; NBT Bank (0.85) brings in a regional bank; and Aubuchon Hardware (0.85) rounds out the set with home improvement. The final two positions go to health and medical services: Beltone (0.81) and Health & Medical Services (0.81).
The cross-kind pattern is notable. Only one neighbor — Weis Pharmacy — shares Hannaford Pharmacy's own subcategory. The rest are grocers, fuel and convenience retailers, a bank, a hardware store, and health services providers. This is a regional-footprint audience: people whose shopping lives are organized around a cluster of locally rooted, everyday-errand brands rather than around pharmacy or drugstore chains specifically.
