In this story you will hear from a number of people involved with Thrifty White Pharmacy, the brand new pharmacy in Cold Spring. Just over a week ago, it was announced that Walgreen’s would be buying Snyders and that the local pharmacy was going to be closing its doors in Cold Spring.
Immediately, city officials began putting the pieces together to bring another pharmacy to Cold Spring. Thrifty White Drug worked with Mayor Schmitz, City Administrator Larry Lahr and Jim Kraemer of the Economic Development Agency to see if it was feasible to bring a new pharmacy to town so people in the community did not have to take their business elsewhere. Thrifty White had excellent assistance from Larry Lahr arranging contacts and helping expedite the process of bringing in a new pharmacy. With the help of these city officials we will be able to open a new pharmacy tomorrow! Normally this process takes 8-12 weeks.
DigElog ROCORI was on-hand at the ribbon cutting ceremony where CEO Bob Narveson discussed how this project came together. As of yesterday, the pharmacy was approved for their pharmacy license by the inspectors.
Some Things to Know:
1. Please be patient, the staff must acclimate to a new computer system.
2. Prescriptions will still be delivered to customers that may need this service.
3. Please request refills a few days before you run out. That way, if it is not in stock, Thrifty White will have time to order the prescription.
4. DOORS OPEN THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010
