    This place has become a necessity during my visits to Provincetown. It is in a convenient location after a day of strolling around Commercial Street on the way back to back to wherever your home base is during your vacation. Walking into here is a bit like stepping back into time. It is old school, but they still have most of the modern items that you may need. I did find the selection varied when it came to the the stocked items, but there was not a lot of options within each subcategory when it comes to different brands.

    Just a side note, stop here and pick up some ginger tablets if you get queasy on the water and took the ferry in from Boston, it will make your life much easier. Also, if you need to get a prescription filled, do it before you go on vacation. While it is a pharmacy, it is not the largest pharmacy and they do not always have what you may need on hand.

    I felt like it was back to the future with this place - a mom & pop style pharmacy with all your random necessities: Pepto-Bismol, sodas, snacks, lube - whaaaaaaaa? Yes, they sell lube in the back and for MUCH cheaper than any adult store. By half.

    The staff seems to know most customers and appear cautious of newcomers...I'm sure the little ladies dressed in red, white & blue were thinking, "Here come the Boston f3gz for their half-priced lube."

    Well thanks ladies. For the lube, the pepto, and the diet coke I sipped at your 1950's style high-top tables whilst watching the homos saunter down Commercial Street.

    They have $1 coffee, anything you might need on your visit to P-Town.  Smells like pharmacies did in the 60's (take that CVS and Walgreen's!).  Stop by to shop!

    Every time I need them, they seem to be open: bug spray, umbrella, candy, soda, solarcaine etc.  Convenient, reasonable and friendly...

    I got a small, college-ruled notebook here for less than a dollar. The woman who rang me up was friendly and had exciting hair. There were people exchanging pleasantries while buying Advil and toothpaste. This was some serious small-town pharmacy business, and I enjoyed it greatly.
