We don’t have a drive through, but we will bring it to your car. Just call ahead or call the number on our front door, and we will come to you. What is your basic business philosophy? We strive to operate our pharmacy under Godly principles and with compassion and kind-heartedness being number one in mind when delivering medical care to each patient that comes through our doors. Give us a sales pitch in 25 words or less: We strive to treat each person who walks through the door with honesty and respect. Let us help your family feel better! What is your proudest business achievement? When asked this question, one often thinks of a business transaction, however, our business lives and dies on relationships. Just being able to do what we have done thus far, from opening the doors, to seeing a year pass by, is a great feeling. Being able to bring a mom and pop-style pharmacy to south side of town should be enough. But mostly, being able to see the difference we are making on a day in and day out basis in each of our patients lives has been an awesome feeling. What led you to Murfreesboro? We love this community, and the schools here are great and this seems like a great place to raise our children. What is your educational background? Rebecca graduated from Franklin County High School, MTSU and then Pharmacy School, at the University of Tennessee-Memphis, where she graduated in 2000.
