A pharmacy lot handles a peculiar mix of traffic: a steady drive-thru line, quick in-and-out prescription pickups, and a notably older clientele who need short walks and clear accessible routes. The striping has to keep the drive-thru lane from spilling into parking aisles, mark a few fast-turnover pickup stalls near the door, and put accessible parking as close to the entrance as the lot allows. In Molalla, a Clackamas County town along Hwy 211, pharmacy traffic along Main Street and Molalla Avenue serves a foothill community where the local drugstore is a regular stop for residents and rural households alike.
Cojo Excavation & Asphalt stripes pharmacy and drugstore lots throughout Molalla and Clackamas County. This guide covers the layout priorities for pharmacy properties, the markings these lots commonly need, and the industry baseline cost ranges to help you budget before a site visit.
The challenge is mixing a moving drive-thru queue with quick-stop parking and an older walking population. Striping keeps those uses from interfering.
When the drive-thru queue stays in its lane and the close stalls turn over, the lot serves a steady stream without congestion. When markings fade, the queue blocks aisles and customers walk farther than they should.
Striping is priced by what gets painted, so the numbers below reflect general commercial restriping and layout work, not a pharmacy-specific rate. Treat them as reference points from national industry data, not a quote — current Oregon pricing frequently runs higher.
Industry baseline ranges shown below. Actual costs vary with surface condition, paint type, layout complexity, and ADA scope.
| Service | Industry Baseline Range |
|---|---|
| Per-space restriping | $3–$6 per space |
| 100-space full lot restripe | $550–$1,000 |
| New layout striping (100 spaces) | $900–$1,500 |
| ADA-compliant space (complete) | $200–$350 per space |
| ADA signage (post + sign) | $150–$250 each |
| Directional arrows | $25–$50 each |
| Drive-thru lane striping (per LF) | $0.20–$0.50 |
| Stencils (PICKUP, DRIVE-THRU, etc.) | $30–$75 each |
Surface condition. Sound asphalt takes paint right away; cracked or oil-stained pavement needs prep that adds to the total. Molalla's foothill setting and clay-heavy soils can shift pavement and open cracks under faded lines.
Drive-thru markings. Lane lines, directional arrows, and stacking guidance for the drive-thru are layout work beyond a plain restripe.
ADA scope. Because pharmacies serve a high share of older customers, ADA spaces and an unobstructed path of travel matter more here than almost anywhere, and bringing an older lot up to current standards is often the largest line item.
Scheduling. Pharmacies rarely close, so striping happens in phases or overnight. Paint needs dry pavement above about 50°F, which in Molalla's cooler foothill climate means late spring through early fall.
Your customers skew older, and many are picking up medication they need that day. A blocked accessible route, a drive-thru queue spilling across the aisle, or a faded crosswalk all create real friction and risk for exactly the people least able to navigate around it. Crisp striping keeps the close stalls available, the queue contained, and the accessible path clear.
