The pharmacy has been open 24 hours a day since May.
Attorney Lydia Lee complained about the hours of operation, claiming neighbors were promised the store would not be a 24-hour-a-day operation.
Randel Shadid, attorney for the pharmacy and Armstrong Development LLC, said he is going to advise his client to stay open 23 hours and 59 minutes a day.
"That’s not 24 hours,” Shadid said the day after the council’s 4-1 vote denying an amendment to the pharmacy’s original site plan. If they (the council) want to play a game, we can play a game.”
Shadid said he asked for the amendment to accommodate the city staff even though he doesn’t think he needed to go before the city council or have the site plan amended.
"That is offensive,” Lee told the council this week. "A promise is a promise. I don’t care how you wiggle around it — it is a promise.”
Shadid called the council dysfunctional and its decision irrational.
"The sales tax is going to run out and this council is going to have to stop beating up on every retailer in town,” Shadid said.
"They do not like commercial.”
