Use of the term in the names of businesses varies with time and location. It is generally an Americanism, though some areas of the [[United States]] use it to invoke an experience of nostalgic revival and it has been used for a wide variety of businesses; while in other areas such as California its use is restricted to licensed pharmacies.<ref name="Friedman">{{cite web|url=https://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/candlepwr/going-medieval-the-revival-of-apothecary/|title=Going medieval: The revival of "apothecary"|last1=Friedman|first1=N.|date=2014|website=Visual Thesaurus|access-date=13 December 2016}}</ref>
