April Message from Bill Anderson

Maybe you have noticed that our logo has changed a little bit. We have semi retired our old “mascot” Ozzie the Wizard. Ozzie has been on almost all our printed ads, cards and stationery since our 125th Anniversary celebration over 15 years ago. Though he will make an occasional appearance here and there, we have gone in a new direction that we feel better describes our business.

With our 4600 sq. ft. expansion to better accommodate our growing medical equipment department we thought it would be a good time to re-do our logo. As you can see it definitely gets the message across that we are not only a pharmacy but also have the medical equipment field covered! We actually have one of the largest showrooms in the entire state, with over twenty lift chairs on display, nine scooters, thirty rollators and walkers and a built in bathroom aid display.

Even though it may seem that we have been putting all our emphasis on the expansion, take a good look through the rest of the store. We have expanded and improved our greeting cards, gifts, seasonal department, puzzles, games and toys too!

And don’t forget, the Plaza will be having our fourth annual Girls on Gartner celebration on May 4th. This Plaza wide celebration has become quite the event over the last four years! Make sure to sign up for our Girls on Gartner raffle – Grand prize is a $100 Oswald’s Gift Card! Second prize is a $100 Oswald’s gift basket filled with fun stuff! Many other prizes as well. Enter in the medical equipment department through the 4th!
