Hometown chose the former
Clark's Rexall location because of its accessibility to the square, excellent parking,
good visibility from Washington Street, convenience to downtown employees and shoppers,
and its wonderful history.
 In
addition to free in-town deliveries, the pharmacy features modern
computers, technology, and software, with Internet access and
billing and ordering capabilities. Because of this investment, we
are able to do all our insurance billing online. Bring your card to
us with your prescription (or complete our online prescription
form), and we'll have everything billed and ready for you. We accept
most insurance cards. For a complete list, click here.
Our
two newest programs are the Hometown
Rxtra Rewards and Hometown Rxtra
Refills programs. With Rxtra Rewards, you can earn points for
every dollar you spend. With our Rxtra Refills program, you may
enroll to have your regular monthly prescriptions automatically
filled 3-5 days before you need them. And, we feature the SP
200 Robotic Prescription Dispensing System from ScriptPro,
which allows us more time to give you personalized service and
counseling.
At Hometown Pharmacy, we
really enjoy helping our customers and interacting with people. When possible, we will
research generic alternatives to brand name prescriptions (with no loss of drug
effectiveness) in order to save you money. Along with free delivery, we offer a wide range
of services. Please stop by and enjoy the history,
meet our staff, and let us help you!
