Wheatley drug store has temporary relocation

By Greg Coulter

WHEATLEY — The early 1920s saw the construction of the Wheatley High School. Since that time, it has served as an elementary public school and over the past few years the Wheatley and District Friendship Club.

With the major disruption to the downtown core, many businesses, where possible, have found alternative locations in order to continue serving their valuable customers.

Pharmacist Mike Untch is “happy and excited” to announce Guardian Drugs reached out to the Friendship Club to set up in Mrs. Mifflin’s old Grade 3 classroom and “in the spirit of Wheatley Strong, the club overwhelming agreed!”

After clearing some administrative and insurance hurdles, they have managed to get up and running. The store is set up on the first floor of the school with the entry being fully accessible.

They are again offering a full service pharmacy, with local delivery.

There is a good supply of everyday essentials with more stock arriving regularly. Full payment options – cash, debit and credit card – are available.

Mike is thankful to the community for their continued understanding and support. They look forward to seeing everyone again at their new temporary location.
