Our Story
1930's
A pharmacy was born to serve the medication needs of a small town. The pharmacy also served as a social hub. The soda fountain was a place to meet friends, have a bite of lunch or find employment. Attached to the back of the store was a house. The pharmacist/owner lived there within an arms reach of the medications and supplies needed in case of emergency.
1991
On December 23, 1991, Mat Slakoper bought the pharmacy. It was quite a Christmas present to himself and to the community. He was raised here and had delivered papers to many of the pharmacy customers. The pharmacy took on new life when the Durable Medical Equipment department was added. Now customers could not only get their medicine from the pharmacy, but anything else they needed to help their healing progress.
1950's
The mid 1950’s saw a new owner. Eventually, the soda fountain lost its glamour as cars were more plentiful and there were other places to go. But, the reason for the pharmacy remained. It was a place to learn about your health and get medication, either over the counter or by prescription. It was a place to get advice and help for everything from teething babies to the aches of old age.
Seeing the number of customers who were confused by multiple medications, or who would frequently forget doses, the Medication Management department was formed. The idea that customers could benefit from a service that assured them that they were getting the right medication at the right time. This consisted of filled pill trays delivered to the home each week; keeping customers on track and healthier.
1999
The pharmacy services grew so much, that by 1999 the store was too small for the number of medical and medicinal products. The house behind the store was torn down and the pharmacy expanded to its present size. The sales floor doubled in size, offices and fitting rooms were added and the little pharmacy on the corner of Bristol Pike and Belmont Avenue grew larger.
Mass produced medications from large drug companies fill the need of a large percentage of customers. However, they were unable to meet every need. Some medications were available in limited strengths or had been discontinued. Customized drug therapy was how the practice of pharmacy started, and by staffing a certified compounding pharmacist, the pharmacy returned to the basics of the personalized care profession that provided for the needs of the individual.
2000's
The new millennium ushered in a technological explosion. The development of a website, an email newsletter as well as a Twitter and Facebook presence, gave the pharmacy a greater ability to serve the customers in this exciting era. Refills could now be ordered from your computer, phone or tablet. And medical equipment catalogs were as close as the nearest screen.
Our growth has given Mat's Pharmacy and Medical Supply more ways to meet your needs quickly and comprehensively. However, our main concern has always been customer service. You have always been our first priority, just like when it all began in 1930.
