Our Heritage

We are carrying forward the legacy of pharmacy service in Vulcan

Our pharmacy was started back in the 40’s and was originally located on Main Street in Vulcan.  That was another time and things were very different back then.

At some point, that pharmacist passed down the practice to his son.  In the year 2000, the pharmacy moved from its original location on Main Street to the First Street Foods grocery store, where it has been ever since. 

After the pharmacist left the practice, the pharmacy carried on for a period of time without a consistent, full-time pharmacy manager.  That was until Stefano came on to the scene, starting part-time to provide guidance and help in 2017 and then moving on to become the dedicated Pharmacy Manager in August 2019. 

Since then, Stefano has embraced the responsibility, grown the pharmacy’s services and expertise, improved his depth of knowledge, and connected with the community in a positive way.  He is committed to carrying on a legacy of helping people in the community to live healthier lives.
