History of Family Pharmacy
The roots of Family Pharmacy go back to 1955 with the purchase of Fox’s Drug Store at 223 North Main Street in Bicknell, Indiana by Bob Deweese. The Deweese family moved to Bicknell and Bob continued to operate the store providing pharmacy services. The pharmacy became D & M Corner Drug Store.
In 1976, Stan Deweese joined his father in the family business as a pharmacist. By 1980, the decision was made to expand the growing business with another pharmacy. A new pharmacy was built "out on the highway" which was developing as a corridor of businesses. It was named Family Pharmacy, which revealed the philosophy of its owners, Bob and Stan… Our Family caring for your Family.
For many years Family Pharmacy has been an independent pharmacy providing services for northern Knox County. The business is still family operated by owner, Stan Deweese with his sister, Nancy Wilson.
The same values and service that were offered by Bob and Betty in 1955 are continuing to this day at Family Pharmacy. Family Pharmacy staff continues to provide customers with friendly and convenient service, medical care and counseling, and quality merchandise2.
