Locally-Owned Pharmacy Looks to Challenge Chains with Personalized Service
ASHEVILLE, NC (April 27, 2021)– Pinnacle Apothecary, located at 24 Sardis Road, Suite A in Asheville, will hold its Grand Opening next week. The event, which will take place Tuesday, May 4th through May 7th, was announced by Jonathan Snipes, Owner of Pinnacle Apothecary.
“We have spent the last eight years building relationships with our patients, and we are so excited for the chance to continue to serve them here as well as get to know new patients,” said Dr. Jonathan Snipes, owner and pharmacist at Pinnacle Apothecary. “Asheville is a place where the residents value community and the kind of personalized service you can’t get at larger chain stores. As an independent pharmacy, we believe it’s important to get to know our patients in order to provide them with the best care and service and we spend each day doing that.” Snipes, who has been a pharmacist for 11 years, has extensive experience working in the pharmacy industry for large chains and the Mission My Care Plus pharmacy down the road from Pinnacle Apothecary in Candler.
The community is invited to join in the celebration throughout the week. The pharmacy has partnered with a La Cupcakes to offer a free cupcake to all customers who come in. A $5 off $20 purchase coupon will also be available on nonprescription items. The weeklong event will culminate with drawings for gift cards, gift baskets, and more on Friday, May 7th.Everyone who comes throughout the week will be able to enter. In addition, all customers who come on Friday will get to spin the prize wheel for more chances to win.
“This is an opportunity for us to show the community who we are while also allowing us to say thank you for the support we’ve received," Snipes said. “Our success depends on the relationships we build with our patients and their families as well as the community we get to serve. I am thrilled to be able to open an independent, locally-owned pharmacy, and it would not be possible without the residents of Asheville and its surrounding communities.”
Pinnacle Apothecary plans to distinguish itself from local chains with personalized service
and unique offerings, including locally sourced products and individually made gift baskets. Since the pharmacy accepts most insurances, patients have the same co-pay without the long waits of large chains and the added convenience of curbside pick-up and free local delivery.
“Having personal knowledge of our patients means we are able to better care for their well-being. We know their medications and their concerns, because we have the opportunity to talk to them when they come in. We are able to take the time to look for the most cost-effective way to serve their health needs,” Snipes said. “An additional benefit of knowing our patients individually is that their pharmacy experience is not only better for their health, but also more convenient with no long lines and staff that is able to immediately pull their prescriptions when they see them walk through the door. We also offer curbside pick-up and free local delivery to ensure we are able to serve each of them in a way that makes their life easier and provides the most benefit to each person in our community.”
PARTNERSHIP WITH HEALTH MART: Pinnacle Apothecary, an independent and locally-owned pharmacy, has opted to join the Health Mart network of independent pharmacies.
“As a part of Health Mart, we remain a locally-owned and independent community pharmacy. We will provide the exceptional personal service independent pharmacies are known for while still being able to level the playing field with the national chains and provide savings to our customers.” Snipes said.
For Snipes, the Grand Opening celebration will just be the beginning.
“I am looking forward to Pinnacle Apothecary serving this community for many, many years to come.”
