Happy New Year! I hope you, your family and friends had a wonderful holiday season. I truly appreciate your support for another year here at the ol’ family pharmacy. Can you believe we’ve hit 150 years in business?! To the right are some pictures of my family that have run the pharmacy during the previous five generations. I couldn’t be more proud to  run Oswald’s for another year, carrying on this wonderful family tradition in our community.

I imagine I’ll be ruminating on this milestone most of the year in one-way-or-another here in the Ozzie Gram. It’s not everyday (or year) you can celebrate this kind of occasion! While’s it’s a bittersweet anniversary losing my grandfather last October, I know he was proud being a part of Oswald’s long history. We still talked business, well after he retired. I carry a lot of his joy, sense of humor, and care for others into both my personal and professional life.

We’ll have some events, sales and celebrations throughout the year to celebrate our 150th, so make sure to read the Ozzie Gram, follow us on social media @oswaldspharmacy, subscribe to our newsletter (a link to sign up can be found at the bottom of our homepage, www.oswaldspharmacy.com) and of course, keep visiting us when you’re at Naperville Plaza! If you haven’t transferred your families prescriptions to Oswald’s yet, we promise a better level of care then you’ve had at any other pharmacy. Why not make it one of your 2025 goals? You won’t regret it.

Christmas goodies will be on sale, up to 75% off in early January. While it ma y seem a little early to think of Christmas 2025, our buyers Laura and Jeremy are already working on our 2025 holiday orders. It’s never too early to think of the holidays here at Oswald’s, especially at 75% off. We also have our annual puzzle sale all January long: 20% OFF ALL JIGSAW PUZZLES to celebrate national puzzle month. Stock up for the cold wintry days ahead, or for the entire year!
