Wannamaker DrugProviding quality healthcare to Cheraw, SC and Chesterfield County

Wannamaker Drug opened the doors to its new store in Chesterfield, SC on October 12th.

“We feel this is a good way to meet the needs of our many customers who live outside of the Cheraw area as well as gain new ones,” said HME Supervisor Lisa Bridges, RN. “We’ll offer the same services and full line of medical equipment (in Chesterfield) as we do in Cheraw. It will just be easier for customers on that side of the county, and our deliveries will be quicker.”

 Many of the services that are available at Wannamaker Drug’s Cheraw store will also be offered at the Chesterfield location including: free local deliveries on prescriptions and medical equipment, yearly flu shot clinics, informative newsletters and more.  For added convenience, two drive through windows will be available: one to drop-off prescriptions and one to pick-up prescriptions.

 “Our goal in Chesterfield will be the same as it is in Cheraw, to be a family-oriented business that goes the extra mile to meet the needs of our customers,” Owner Chris Bridges said. “We aim to become involved in the activities and programs that make Chesterfield such a quaint, charming town.”

 Wannamaker Drug’s mission is to maintain the highest quality healthcare to customers by providing a competent staff and improved services.  Wannamaker Drug is committed to responding to patients and caregivers with compassion, empathy, sincerity, and respect while providing quality goods, services, and information that will enhance quality of life.

 Back in April, Wannamaker Drug received accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC).  Accreditation is regarded as one of the key benchmarks for measuring the quality of an organization, along with its products and services.  Wannamaker Drug was awarded accreditation after meeting the intense standards, which are structured to be higher than those of state or federal requirements, set by ACHC.  

 The Chesterfield branch will be located at 107 West Boulevard, formally Substation II, and Chesterfield native Tara Vick will be the Pharmacist In Charge. A 1993 graduate of Chesterfield High School, Tara earned her Doctorate of Pharmacy from the University of South Carolina. Licensed in South and North Carolina, Tara has 11 years of pharmacy experience in retail, hospital and long-term care.

  “My prayer has always been to work in Chesterfield because this is my home,” Tara said. “I enjoy helping people, and I am very excited about what Wannamaker Drug can provide for our community. I look forward to joining the Wannamaker family and assisting you with any of your pharmacy needs.”

 A grand opening barbecue is being planned for October 24^th.  The day will also include a cake baking competition, children’s games, and a chance to meet the pharmacist and staff.

 Wannamaker Drug’s Chesterfield branch hours will be Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm and Saturday from 9am to 1pm. For more information about Wannamaker Drug, call the store at 843-623-2999.
