Pharmacy with ‘neighborhood feel’ opens shop

In recent weeks, the Crestwood Pharmacy and Soda Fountain opened its doors in the Shoppes at Crestwood. 

Owned by Taylor Trammel and Tyler Shadix, Shadix said it’s going to be a retail pharmacy that also offers compounding services for clients. And, they’ve installed an old-time soda fountain. 

“Once [Taylor] got into pharmacy, he wanted to open up his own pharmacy and have the soda fountain,” Shadix said. Trammel will be working as the head pharmacist and Shadix as the manager of the store.

Shopping center co-owner Payne Baker said when Shadix and Trammel approached him with the idea, he was drawn to it.

“I think this [the pharmacy] is a fantastic idea,” he said. He believes it meshes well with the popular hyper-localized, neighborhood-oriented movement. 

“There’s been a growing need for the old traditional compounding pharmacies,” he said. “And, patients are finding that you’re [a] one stop shop.”

Baker said thinks the pharmacy will be a great addition to the community, too.  “It’s gonna be like a throwback to a traditional neighborhood pharmacy,” Baker said. 

Shadix described the vision as opening a pharmacy with a “hang-out vibe” and “neighborhood feel,” which Trammel was looking forward to for the pharmacy. “He’s always wanted to have that sort of vibe and run a pharmacy,” Shadix said. 

The pharmacy is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
