Weigants Pharmacy, located at 714 Kihekah Ave, Pawhuska, Oklahoma, was started in 1979 by Jim and Ellen Weigants. Gavin and Lindsay Gatrell purchased the pharmacy in 2021 and have since upheld its reputation for offering pharmacy services patients can always count on. From the time they took over, they have implemented innovative approaches to service, including making it more accessible to patients in a wide variety of channels; in-person, through the telephone, and online through their website. “Our mission is to provide safe, high-quality patient care while exhibiting the highest level of professionalism and respect for our patients,” said Lindsay. The Gatrell’s have breathed new life into the business by expanding its offerings to include their family-friendly 1950’s soda fountain and unique gifts.
