Two very nice workers at this store offered to help jump start my car when my battery died in their parking lot. Thanks to them both, and to the mystery man with the power pack who got my car on the road again. Good neighbors all.

Cheap rx costs compared to walgreens, cvs, etc. Also a local business and it shows as they are a lot more willing to work with folks and treat them as a community member not just out for money. Very friendly and prompt.
