Sheldon's Express Pharmacy

The Sheldon's both laugh when they think about the first few days of their business and how they filled just 1 prescription their first Saturday back in 1988. Those days were filled with hope and anticipation and a lot of praying. They went to several banks in the community only to be turned down. Finally, Bob Fitch, a local Banker took a chance on them and the rest is history. Steve still enjoys a relationship with Bob today by serving on the Bank Board at Independence Bank.

One now can walk into any Sheldon's Express Pharmacy and see what simply can be described as amazing. The Sheldon's operate the largest single Independent drug store in this part of the country. While national averages range about 180 prescriptions daily, the Fairview branch in Bowling Green fills well over 1000 prescriptions in the 9 hours they are open daily. They utilize state of the art technology and also lead in the industry in this area. You will find two complete Automated Filling machines, Two audio and video systems at their 3 drive in windows, outdoor payment solutions and much, much more. At any one time it is not uncommon for them to have 5-6 pharmacists and about 40 technicians to help your visit to be quick and professional. They not only respect your time but pride themselves on being the most complete source of drug information in the community.

Today Steve and Terri have 3 locations. The two Bowling Green locations is where they spend much of their time. They also have partnered up with Wayne Bandy Pharm D. in Portland, Tn. and Melissa Greathouse Pharm D. at the Campbell Lane Branch in Bowling Green. They will be the first to tell you, they have been blessed beyond their expectations in both communities and much of their success has been due to such great long term employees that also share the love and compassion the Sheldon's have for their patients.

The Bowling Green Locations are honored about 7-8 years ago by the Bowling Chamber of Commerce by winning the prestigious "Small Business person of the year" award honoring the employees and their loyalty and commitment to the community. Ironically enough, the Portland Location just last year in 2008 won the same honor in the Portland Community.

The Sheldon's are firm in their faith and believe that God is responsible for the many blessings they have received. They give him the credit and realize that without God none of this was possible. If you visit their stores you will see the scriptures on the wall that helps remind them and their customers the reason everyone enjoys their experience at Sheldon's Express Pharmacy. They would welcome you to come to the back of the store and see the 15 foot tall painting painted on the stone wall outside. It has become something of a tourist attraction with many, many people coming to see the beautiful painting depicting the life of Jesus Christ.
