PAULDING, OH – Okuley’s Pharmacy, located in Continental and Defiance, Ohio, is excited to announce the opening of a new location. Okuley’s Pharmacy – Paulding will be located at 829 North Williams Street (former Fastenal location next to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles).
“This is an exciting announcement for Paulding County,” stated Paulding County Economic Development (PCED) Director Tim Copsey. “It was heart wrenching when the announcement came from Rite Aid that our very well supported store was on the closure list. We immediately started making connections to take action. We met with the Paulding County Hospital Administrative Board the very next morning and made a plan to reach out to the Antwerp Pharmacy and Okuley’s. Both will benefit from the Rite Aid closure. We can’t thank the Okuley’s enough for choosing to open this new location in Paulding.”
There were many partners that took quick action to make this new location come to fruition. Okuley’s, the Paulding County Hospital, DLM Realty, and even the Ohio Department of Liquor all responded and acted quickly to the contact and efforts the PCED office made to make this a smooth transition.
“We are still several weeks away from the storefront opening but at least our county residents have the opportunity to again pick up their medications locally. The liquor store will move to a separate location but that is secondary to getting the necessary medications locally. Our office will focus more on that now that Okuley’s is established,” Copsey closed.
“Okuley’s are excited to add the Paulding community to our locations. Our team is looking forward to serving the community with prescription and medical equipment needs. There are many moving parts to making this happen. We are all going to work hard to get up and running as soon as possible to help eliminate stress for the patients. We thank everyone in advance for your patience as we put all the pieces together” commented Kieu and Travis Okuley.
Patients that would like to pick up medications locally can immediately begin to transfer their medications to the Okuley’s Pharmacy Continental, Ohio location, located at 102 South Main Street. Prescriptions will be filled and can then be picked up in Paulding at the 829 N. Williams Street location Monday thru Friday from 3-6pm.
Once the Paulding building remodel is complete, all licenses obtained, and contracts are in place, the Paulding store will be open to the public. The goal is to open sometime in September. Watch the Okuley’s Pharmacy Facebook page or the website www.okuleypharmacy.com for updates.
For help transferring your medications or if there are any questions you can contact the Continental Okuley’s Pharmacy at 419-596-3898 or fax 419-596-3909. All attempts will be made to make this transition as seamless as possible.
