Elwyn Pharmacy relocates to ShopRite in Brookhaven
Yachtstock River Jam gets ready to rock Delco’s waterfront Saturday
BROOKHAVEN » To enhance their services and convenience to the community, Elwyn Pharmacy recently moved to a new location, inside the ShopRite store at 5075 Edgmont Ave., Brookhaven.
The relocation comes as part of the pharmacy’s ongoing commitment to provide the best possible experience for all their valued new and longtime customers.
Although it has relocated, Elwyn Pharmacy remains an independently owned and operated pharmacy.
More convenience was added, as it is now a one-stop destination where customers can not only fulfill their prescription needs but they will also have the convenience of the Shoprite grocery store.
The pharmacy will keep the same dedicated staff, and customers will continue to receive the personalized care and attention that they’ve come to appreciate.
To mark this new chapter, Elwyn Pharmacy will hold a grand opening celebration at the new ShopRite location from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday Oct. 7.
Everyone is invited to stop in and explore the new space, meet the pharmacy team, and learn about the expanded range of services Elwyn Pharmacy will be offering.
