New Medical Equipment Department Now Open!

The build out on the new expanded Oswald’s is complete except for a couple of small items! We have been moving stock into what we have been calling our new “Healthcare Shop” for the past few days. The place looks fantastic. Make sure you stop in and take a look through the store and see our new lines and additional items that we’ve added to our shop!

Of course now that quite a bit of stock that was in the original space has been moved to the new, we have been, and will be, moving a lot around in that part of the store too. Perhaps you’ve already noticed the card department. It is about 20% larger with some new and fun card lines. Most of our core drugstore items like the analgesics, stomach aids, dental, shampoo, deodorant and first aid will be moving an aisle or so over towards the new space. We will be expanding on our jigsaw puzzle and game selection and also giving the gift department a little more breathing room. When all is said and done the store will be much easier to navigate and shop. It may take a little bit of time to get used to the new layout, so if you can’t find something just ask, and we will be happy to help you find what you need!

As we continue celebrating our 140th year in business we are planning some fun events for the Fall. On Saturday, October 3rd we will celebrate our anniversary with a grand celebration with cake, refreshments, bargains, prize drawings and much, much more! Put it on your calendar!
