| History of Family Pharmacy |  |
|||||||||||
| The roots of Family Pharmacy go back to 1955 with the purchase of Fox's Drug Store at 223 North Main Street in Bicknell, Indiana by Bob Deweese. The Deweese family moved to Bicknell and Bob continued to operate the store providing pharmacy services and gift items, while youngsters of all ages stopped in for a treat at the soda fountain. The pharmacy became D & M Corner Drug Store.
In 1972, Bob's wife, Betty, expanded the gift line by opening a unique store a few doors down the street, called the Merry Christmas Shop. One year later, Betty began a retail partnership with Hallmark which continues to this day. In 1976, Stan Deweese joined his father in the family business as a pharmacist. By 1980, the decision was made to expand the growing business with another pharmacy. A new pharmacy was built "out on the highway" which was developing as a corridor of businesses. It was named Family Pharmacy, which revealed the philosophy of its owners, Bob and Stan... Our Family caring for your Family. In 1984, The Merry Christmas Shop was incorporated into this new business followed by the merger of D & M Corner Drug in 1985. For many years Family Pharmacy has been an independent pharmacy providing services for northern Knox County. The business is still family operated by owner, Stan Deweese with his sister, Nancy Wilson, managing the gift department. The same values and service that were offered by Bob and Betty in 1955 are continuing to this day at Family Pharmacy. Our staff continues to provide customers with friendly and convenient service, medical care and counseling, and quality merchandise. |
