Steve and Terri Sheldon opened up their first Pharmacy together in 1988. Steve and Terri both went
to Western Kentucky university for their undergraduate work and then went on to graduate from
University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy. They are still very active in education as preceptors for
the UK college of pharmacy for current pharmacy students. Steve still is very active in local education
and has served on local School boards from time to time. He still talks to local college and high
school economic classes as well as participating in career days at many educational institutions.
Sheldon's Express Pharmacy is a family owned business. Currently Terri's Mother, Lana, works in
Medicare Billing and Jesse, Terri's father, works in public relations. The Sheldon's have 5 children
with 3 of them working periodically in the stores. Their names are Ryan, Seth, Spence, Seaton and
Terra.
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. The Fairview branch in Bowling Green fills
well over 1000 prescriptions daily, and they utilize state of the art technology and also lead in the industry in this area.
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 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.
