A pharmacy lot has to handle quick in-and-out trips, a drive-thru line that can back up at the wrong time of day, and a customer base that skews older and less mobile than most. In Sublimity — the Marion County farm town in the Santiam foothills along Highway 22, next to Stayton east of Salem — a pharmacy is often the local stop for prescriptions, vaccines, and a fast errand for both townsfolk and the surrounding rural community. When the lines fade, the drive-thru lane blurs into the parking rows and the front-door path gets murky for the very customers who need it clearest.
Cojo Excavation & Asphalt stripes pharmacy and retail-health lots across Sublimity and the Santiam-foothills corridor. This guide covers what a pharmacy layout actually needs, what it tends to cost, and the local conditions that shape the job.
A pharmacy lot is built around speed and accessibility. The layout has to move the drive-thru line, turn over the front stalls, and protect a clear walking path.
The drive-thru lane needs enough striped stacking room that a backed-up line does not spill into the parking rows or block the entrance. Clear lane lines and a marked merge point keep the queue orderly during the after-work rush when everyone picks up at once.
Most pharmacy visits are short — grab a prescription, pay, leave. A few clearly striped and stenciled short-term stalls near the door keep that fast traffic flowing instead of circling. They also keep the closest spaces from being held all afternoon.
This is where pharmacy striping earns its keep. A large share of pharmacy customers are older or have mobility challenges, so the ADA stalls have to sit on the shortest accessible route to the door, with proper access aisles, signage, and a curb cut that lines up with the path of travel. Getting this right is both a legal requirement and the single biggest comfort factor for the customers you serve most.
Pharmacies get regular deliveries and courier pickups. A short-stay stall near the side or service entrance keeps couriers from blocking the drive-thru or the front row during a quick drop.
Seasonal vaccine clinics can spike traffic for a few weeks. A layout that has a planned overflow area and a clear, unobstructed ADA path of travel handles those surges without turning the lot into a bottleneck.
Pricing depends on lot size, surface condition, and how much drive-thru, ADA, and stencil work the layout needs. The figures below are industry baseline ranges — actual quotes in the current Oregon market frequently run higher.
| Service | Industry Baseline Range |
|---|---|
| Restripe existing layout (per space) | $3–$6 per space |
| Restripe — small lot (20–50 spaces) | $350–$600 |
| New layout / full redesign (small lot) | $500–$900 |
| ADA-compliant space (complete) | $200–$350 each |
| ADA signage (post + sign) | $150–$250 each |
| Drive-thru lane striping | priced per layout |
| Stencils (PICKUP, 10 MIN, etc.) | $30–$75 each |
Sublimity sits in the Santiam foothills east of Salem, where the valley climbs toward the Cascades. Winters are wet and summers are warm and dry. Traffic paint needs dry pavement and temperatures above 50°F to cure, so the practical striping window runs from late spring through early fall.
A pharmacy cannot really close its lot — customers need their prescriptions every day, and many of them are not able to walk in from down the street. The work gets done in phases: striping the drive-thru and front stalls during slow hours, doing one section at a time, and keeping the accessible path open throughout. A contractor who knows the foothills weather will book the job for a window when paint cures rather than washing off in one of the area's quick showers.
Surface condition is the other factor. Older lots near Center Street may have oil staining or hairline cracking that affects paint adhesion. A quick assessment before quoting keeps the new lines from failing within weeks.
A faded pharmacy lot hits the customers who can least afford the confusion. A blurred drive-thru lane causes backups, an unclear ADA path makes an older customer's trip harder, and a worn short-term stall fills up and stays full. A crisp, well-organized lot keeps the line moving and the front door reachable.
Cojo measures the lot, evaluates the surface, and lays out a plan that keeps the drive-thru stacking clean, turns over the front stalls, and puts the ADA spaces and path of travel exactly where they belong. We handle the stencils, signage, and lane lines as one coordinated job.
