I've been getting my medication here for quite some time and never had any problems til lately, I have called the day before I was going to pick it up and waited to pickup after I got off work and has not been ready, very frustrating after a few times, and then the doctor sent in prescription and didn't pick up for a few days after.. almost a week.. and they just found it and had to wait to have filled. I like to give people the benefit of a doubt, but ready to go some where else

Customer service is fantastic. Besides being a pharmacy they have a world class toy department. Great educational games, retro games, and they even have paint by number. My kids love the puppets and science experiments and build your own robots.

I bought a Heating Pad w/ Vibration function and after 3 day's of use the heat stopped working, It's a nice store for a small town and has a friendly atmosphere but I advise keeping any receipts if you pick up anything beside's your medication from this store.
