August 2013

It’s hard to believe that back-to-school is almost here. Being in retail all of my life, back-to-school has always been the marker for Fall to begin. Before we know it the leaves will be turning, football season will be in full swing (Go Bears) and we’ll be preparing for the holidays. Speaking of holidays, our purchasing manager, Alecia, along with our gift buyers have been busy at work looking for new and exciting gift and toy items for the store. Although we are fortunate enough to have you all as prescription customers, keep an eye out for other great items available throughout the store. For your convenience we have a U.S. Post Office, a huge selection of  greeting cards (I think the best selection in the area), toys, books and puzzles. We have a nice selection of exclusive Naperville specialty items and of course our great gift section. I can say, “great” because more and more people tell me how much they love coming in to check out what new gift items are in the store.  I have to thank Alecia and our gift buyers for doing such a great job selecting such fun and unique merchandise.

 

Next time you drop in to pick up your prescription, take some time to check out all that’s new in our store. And don’t forget, if needed we deliver. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
