The Morning Impact — your neighborhood's most important stories, delivered every morning.
Peoples Pharmacy—also known as Peoples Wellness—recently sold to Kimberli Wiley, owner of CPRx Pharmacy in Austin. The new ownership will bring expanded health and wellness offerings to all locations.
The backstory
Bill Swail opened the first Peoples Pharmacy locations in 1980 in central and South Austin. The brand later expanded to open two additional locations in Northwest Austin and Westlake.
What they offer
Peoples offers a range of wellness products, including pharmaceutical-grade supplements, beauty and personal care products, vitamins, at-home wellness testing kits and gluten-free foods.
The business also has a compounding pharmacy that creates customized medications for both people and pets that ensure optimal absorption, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
What’s changed
With the new ownership, Wiley is launching a collaboration with Victory Medical center, which offers family and integrated medicine, urgent care, weight management and more.
Peoples Pharmacy will now expand to offer GLP-1s, peptides and nurse practitioners available to see clients in store. The new services will be offered at all four existing locations.
“The collaboration with Victory Medical is a natural fit, bringing together complementary services and a shared commitment supporting the all-around health and wellness of our patients and customers,” Wiley stated in a news release.
One more thing
The leadership at Peoples Pharmacy will remain largely unchanged, aside from CEO Stephen Erickson who will consult with the company through the transition.
