Lauren Wilson officially opened her Pharmasave store in the Beer Store plaza Aug. 6.
Wilson has spent months renovating the former Cordell Carpet space.
Wilson had worked in a corporate store for 19 years, and after COVID-19, decided to make a switch to become her own boss. “I really hope patients will benefit from getting medical advice from a person born and raised in the area.
Being a mother of four children, I feel like I have a lot to offer for young families in the area because of the experience there, and again, just more of the one-stop shop,” she said.
“So, if they need to pop in here and grab a gift for a birthday party, or for a housewarming, or a teacher at the end of the school year, I hope to be able to be the place that they look to.”
Wilson’s goal for the store is to have the autonomy to practice as a healthcare provider in the way she was taught 20 years ago.
