The Story

The old screen door creaked a friendly welcome at South Side Drug Store, pulling you into a comforting embrace of yesteryear. Inside, the soda fountain sparkled, ready to craft the perfect sweet treat, from a frosty malt to a scoop of creamy ice cream. It’s a place where time slows down, and every sip and bite feels like a warm hug from a simpler era.

    Friendly, knowledgeable service. They were very helpful and guided me to everything I needed. They have prescription medication, toys, candles, and a full-functioning soda fountain. The floats are terrific! Puzzles, US flags, laundry, cleaning supplies, spices, snacks and treats!

    I am new to the area. I called I think twice today. I spoke to three different people. When women and two men. Everyone was very nice and courteous. A lot nicer than the people at the Walmart pharmacy

    I was very surprised at the prices there. In most cases, cheaper than Walmart on the bandaids and stuff, I had a burn, I had to get treated and there's plenty of availability of supplies there for that.
