Over the last few years, Siverson’s Pharmacy and Gifts has undergone a few cosmetic changes, not the least of which was the expansion of the store by then owner Ralph Siverson around 2007.
After purchasing the pharmacy around 2008, Slade and Jessica Siverson have made some additional changes, including other interior updates and updating the outside of the building with a fresh coat of paint and new awnings. Their inventory of home décor and gift items has increased the last few years, also. “The gift side is always my work in progress,” said Jessica Siverson. “We’ve expanded to include clothes, jewelry and scarves and we also do gift baskets,” said Siverson. “If there is something you want and we don’t have it, for the OTC (over the counter medications) Slade can usually get it the next day,” said Siverson. “If it is a gift item, I can order it and usually get it in a week to two weeks,” Siverson added.
Most recently, in light of the recent break-ins, Siverson’s has increased their security and in the last couple of weeks they have been remodeling the front of the pharmacy to create a waiting area for customers. “We are making it for the customers so they have a place to sit,” said Jessica Siverson. “Some of our customers can’t walk and some are sick and don’t feel like walking around. We want to create a nice waiting area for them because our customers are important and sometimes they have to wait. It will be nice to have a decent place to sit.” The area behind the counter is also being remodeled to provide more room behind the counter and to create a couple of closets, one of which will be used to house the dry cleaning. The remodel is expected to be finished by the end of this week.
“We want to encourage people to come in and check it (the recent remodel) out,” said Siverson. “Slade and I thank all of you for shopping locally. We need every one of you to keepMain Streetgoing.”
