O'Briens Pharmacy - Prescription for Health, Happiness and Success

      O’Brien Pharmacy has been a welcoming landmark at the intersection of Front Street and Milton Avenue in the Village of Ballston Spa for generations.

    Combining the charm of a bygone era with new millennium conveniences, the corner drug store has retained the best of what the business offered in the past while keeping up with the changing times where it matters most. In a league of its own as the last independently owned pharmacy in Ballston Spa, O’Brien is also the only place in the village that offers a prescription delivery service for shut-ins.

     Nearly half a century has passed since patriarch James P. O’Brien purchased the business that had begun serving the community as Leahy’s Drug Store in 1927 and became known as Lattimore’s Pharmacy in 1946. (Long before becoming the site of an apothecary, the property had gone down in history as the location of the world-renowned Sans Souci Hotel. After the posh resort was razed in 1887, the prime commercial lot attracted the attention of George West III who established a pioneering automotive business there.)
