Village Pharmacy has been a staple in the Upper Township community for over 50 years, servicing residents’ healthcare needs, including their prescriptions. For the last 25 years John and Terry Brittin have proudly owned and operated the business.
Times have changed and so has the Village Pharmacy.
After it recently closed, a new business called Rooted Wellness evolved in its place.
Rooted Welllness maintains the same level of care, health products, and familiar faces, but with even more specialized products and integrative health services to compliment them.
Customers of Rooted Wellness are greeted by knowledgeable family and staff with the community-oriented spirit that has always been the backbone of their business of healthcare and supplements.
Terry is still behind the counter and her sons John and Timothy are available to give the caring service that you don’t always get in the big box stores.
They listen to the needs of the of their customers and devise alternative plans that are compatible with the recommendations of the customer’s doctor.
The product line has been expanded. In addition to all of the supplements, customers can find fresh produce, organic and grass-fed meat, fresh refrigerated meals, and natural baking ingredients.The store also stocks household products, natural cleaners, vitamin supplements,, natural baking ingredients, essential oils, soaps and more.
Customers can even place special orders for bulk vegetable, fruits, wheatgrass, and juicing ingredients. They offer some substantial discounts on full or partial case special orders.
The transition has gone very well from the Village Pharmacy to Rooted Wellness. It has been an ongoing process changing a ship while it is in motion. However, it is well worth your while to check out what all of the buzz is about.
Terry and John’s journey is coming to fruition navigating the ever-complicated healthcare system to work towards holistic wellness which takes everything into account: including diet, exercise, stress levels and prescriptions.
