Happy Thanksgiving!

Here we are into November already! With Thanksgiving just around the corner I pause to think how thankful I am to have the opportunity to run our family’s pharmacy. I am thankful for my predecessors, from my father Bob Anderson all the way to great-great grandfather W.W. Wickel, for all the hard work, persistence and grit, to not only survive but grow the business into the success it is today. I am thankful for our wonderful staff who don’t just take care of our customers prescriptions and purchases, they treat the customer like family! Most of all I am thankful for  you, our customer. Without the support and loyalty of so many wonderful customers over the years we would never have survived all the ups and downs that have come along!

Next year we will be celebrating our 140th year of taking care of Naperville’s families. We are planning on monthly specials, drawings and customer appreciation events throughout the year. We will cap our 140th year anniversary with a grand celebration in October of 2015. Mark your calendars now!

Also, keep your eyes out for our new website to be rolled out this month! After over a year of design, planning and testing we are about ready to go live. It will be easier to navigate, easier to order prescription refills and will be responsive to what ever device you use to view the site – everything from your phone to your desktop computer!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
