About Purdy Cost Less
Pharmacy
We’re a second generation family-owned pharmacy dedicated to bringing you the best, friendliest, and most trustworthy pharmacy experience in Gig Harbor and the Key Peninsula.
As seen on:
What if you didn’t have to wait in a long line at your pharmacy? What if you were treated like a person – not a number – once you arrived at the counter?
What if your pharmacist knew your name, actively screened your prescriptions for interactions, and gave you a call when concerns arose? What if you could get your medication schedule synchronized so that all of your meds would renew on the same day every month? What if a trip to the pharmacy wasn’t a hassle, but instead was a delightful experience of fun browsing and a shared laugh?
That’s where Purdy Cost Less Pharmacy comes in. Our history includes decades of community-first values and neighborly service. The stories in our archive include:
- Supporting neighborhood sports teams
- Delivering prescriptions to a patient’s front door in a snowstorm
- Supplying visitors with the medication they forgot while vacationing on the Key Peninsula
From eight to 80 (plus or minus a few years), the team at Purdy Cost Less Pharmacy are your local, accessible medical professionals – ready to help you live better.

Matt decided to make the switch to community pharmacy.
As co-owner and lead pharmacist, Matt can be found overseeing pharmacy operations and providing friendly and high-quality care to his patients.
