The store itself is I think the best on the peninsula (some of the others are, ahem, not so nice), and the staff is always friendly and will go out of their way to help you find things you need. And I *love* the pharmacy here! My prescriptions are always filled within a day or two (sometimes even the same day after being called in), and all of the staff doing vaccinations is terrific. Recently they called me to check up on upcoming boosters I needed to schedule, which I really appreciate, and they'll walk you through any info you might need about side effects. Drugstores are one of those things we sometimes don't give much thought to, but when you find a good one like this, you definitely want to keep coming back.

I asked why the cost of my generic compounded med had doubled in the past two years. The first…read morething the pharmacist said was that they had to pay people more due to the Cory of Portland's requirement for a living wage. What a BS excuse for overcharging a cheap medication. Their high prices for Vitamins and minerals prey on the sick and vulnerable. If I had a choice I would get my meds elsewhere.

**November 2025: Friday Night Visit**…read more I needed to pick up some quart size sandwich bags, and this super market had that and so much more. I'm amazed by how huge this store was and the variety of everything you could ever need and more. I also liked that there are different sections that have Maine Made items and that there are little signs that say "local" if you wanted to pick up some regional items. I really wanted to pick up some fresh Maine milk, and Maple BBQ sauce, but unfortunately since I was at the tail end of my roadtrip I couldn't take much expect for a small bag of salt and vinegar potato chips and my sandwich bags; however, if I come back to Portland, I'll know where I can buy some regional goodies!

There are plenty of pre-made options if you're looking for food on the go (although the chicken wings at $9.99 a pound are a total rip off), a dedicated local product section (please expand!), and some interesting international offerings (chive dumplings!). My only complaint is that it is weirdly organized - like the pasta sauce and pasta section at the end of the wine aisle (wine and pasta do go together, but in a grocery store?). I would love to see this location expand the local and international offerings, and maybe have some kind of newsletter? It feels like a community hub, and I know they do a lot to help the immigrant community but it wasn't very apparent to me as a customer.

Why five stars? One one occasion when they didn't have the medicine we needed, one of the pharmacists actually put on his coat and drove to another pharmacy to get it... WHILE WE WAITED! Is that awesome customer service. They have also stayed open for an extra ten minutes when I had to get my son's medication but couldn't make it there before closing. Can you believe that? What you get at ABD is old fashioned service that I thought perished from this planet in the 1950's. They smile, they are good natured and they will always do what ever they have to in order to get you your script, and all with a great attitude. I can't thank them enough!

All great items for camping or for your home at great prices. I had asked if they had a bathroom, and they said no. And later as I'm walking around, I notice all the business say no bathroom on the outside of their door. Not even if you're a customer. A lot of homelessness that has made it difficult for paying customers to use the bathrooms. It's sad, cause I had done hours of walking around Old Port and Portland area, and there's no place to go to the bathroom. Times have changed

Yes, the parking lot is as…read morechaotic as ever, but I've actually noticed really good precautionary steps during this time. I've seen people at the entrance basically being bouncers (making sure the store is keeping up with how many people can be inside at once, directing folks to which carts are sanitized, asking people to put masks on). I've also seen more signs throughout the store reminding people to have masks -- I will say that until recently, maybe 50% were actually wearing them but that seems to have changed since the governor's order. Admittedly, it doesn't seem like anyone is really paying attention to the direction signs on the floor about flow of traffic within the aisles, but are still being pretty respectful of each other's space anyway. The staff seems as friendly as ever, there's *a lot* more out of stock than ever before, but getting in and getting out does seem quicker than ever since no one is socializing or taking their time perusing items. I know I try I only buy what I touch!
