Witmer Drug Celebrates 80 years of Business

The month of May was another milestone for the Witmer family.  Witmer Drug spent the month celebrating its 75th year in the same location in downtown Phillipsburg.  And  80th years of service to our area.

In 1930, Raymond Witmer moved to Phillipsburg to manage the Curtis Drug.  Raymond purchased the pharmacy in 1947. Since that time, there has been a Witmer standing behind the pharmacy counter to fill prescriptions for area residents.  In 1955, son Jack  joined his father in this business.  Raymond partially retired in the 1960′s and died in 1978, leaving Jack to run the store by himself. 

In 1986, Phillipsburg native Steve Schick came to work for Jack and joined him in serving our community. 

Jack’s son, Eric came back to Phillipsburg in 1991,  to be apart of this longstanding family business.  Jack sold the business to Steve and Eric on January 1st, 1997, where they continue to serve the area as the pharmacists. 

Phillips County Economic Development Board and Staff thank the Witmer family for their loyalty and service to our area.  We are fortunate to have such dedicated individuals in our community.

Congratulations on 80 year in business!
