Message from the proprietor;

“The culture I create for my team, their happiness and job satisfaction matters most to me. Good performance is always acknowledged and celebrated in our store. Our team dynamic and genuine care for the community has allowed us to provide a warm environment for the customers, and an exceptional healthcare destination to shop at. Over the years, the pharmacy profession has been undervalued and under appreciated. I value all my pharmacists as healthcare professionals who are there to make an impact to customers and the healthcare profession itself. If developing a customer’s trust in your expertise, and a relationship where they return just to see you is what provides job satisfaction, this is definitely the place for you. With me, every pharmacist has the opportunity to be challenged, and impart their own ideas or flares for healthcare. If becoming an owner is what you desire, I would love to mentor and provide that opportunity for you.”
