Sterling Drug is a unique store. It's divided in three sections. 1/3 convenience store, 1/3 gift shop.1/3 pharmacy. It's located on one of the main arteries through town (Old Highway 14/Hoffman Drive/Oak St.) and just west of downtown.
There's a decent amount of parking, but the area around the gas pumps is a little too cramped for me. I have little experience with the gift shop and pharmacy, but the pharmacy does have a drive-through window! Outside the gift shop is an area that sells potted and hanging plants. Inside there's a small eating area between the gift shop and convenience store.
The convenience store is fine, but the only thing that really stands out to me is the variety of drinks. I like places that have a lot of oddball brands and flavors. On my last visit I got a can of Lift Bridge Cream Soda, and the flavor was 'mini donut'. It was strange, but it was also very good, and very mini donut-y.
I've always found the service to be friendly. I rate this store above average for having the most amount of services of all the similar local places. read more
