NOVEMBER BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
AUTEN PHARMACY
In July of 1992 Steve and Teri Auten purchased Sinclair Drugs from Bill Sinclair. It was the lifelong dream of Steve's to own his own pharmacy and it was the first of many that he would own. Sinclair Drugs had been located at 546 Main Street in Osawatomie for about 30 years. The name changed to Auten Pharmacy and it remained at that location for the next 17 years. Steve was the Pharmacist in charge until his death in 2006. In 2009 Teri built a new building and moved the business to its current location at 125 E Main Street. This allowed the business to expand, have more parking and a drive thru to make it more convenient for the customers.
Auten Pharmacy has been providing quality pharmacy services to Osawatomie residents and its surrounding area since 1992. In keeping with their tradition of friendly and timely service, Auten Pharmacy offers a wide range of services to their customers. They offer many specific products for Long Term Care as well. They can provide unit dosed medications and durable medical equipment. They package unit dose medications on-site for fast, dependable service. They also offer after hours emergency care so your loved ones will not have to go without a needed medication. They offer a wide variety of diabetic supplies, including support hose, diabetic shoes, diabetic socks and diabetic testing supplies.
Ashley Auten, daughter of Steve and Teri, is now the proud owner of Auten Pharmacy. She is excited to get involved in the community and bring in new things to make it even better.
Special for the Month:
Auten Pharmacy will be hosting a coffee at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 20th at their business (125 East Main Street). Please show your support by attending this coffee. This is a great way to get know Ashley and her staff and a great way to network with other businesses! Your support for their business is appreciated!
