Bastrop Medicine Shop to expand on Chestnut Street

Bastrop Medicine Shop owner and pharmacist Omar Fuentes and his team are moving from their spot at 1110 Main St., next to the Bastrop Post Office, to a larger one just a few blocks east.

In a nutshell

Fuentes said the new spot will give him room to offer additional products and services and more convenient parking.

"It's really nice, and we're putting a lot of love into it," he said.

What they offer

The locally owned, full-service pharmacy offers a range of options, such as:

• Compounding for human and pet medications
• Immunizations, no appointment needed
• Free delivery within a 5-mile radius
• Long-term care, where Bastrop Medicine Shop collaborates with staff at long-term care facilities for patient medications
• Med-Sync, a free service that allows patients to pick up all of their medications on the same day each month
• Prescriptions for humans and pets
• Supplements for humans and pets

One more thing

Fuentes said he accepts all major insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid.

Those wanting to transfer their prescriptions to Bastrop Medicine Shop can do so in one click on the pharmacy website.

What else?

Fuentes plans to hold a grand opening celebration in late spring or early summer.
