MIAMI-The largest Hispanic-owned drugstore chain in the U.S. just got larger. Navarro Discount Pharmacy signed two new store leases, one in Homestead and one in Pembroke Pines. That brings the chain up to 28 stores, with three new stores under construction that are set to open in the next three to nine months.
