Esterbrook Pharmacy is merging with West Reading Drug Store on January 25, 2023. This change will merge two organizations with iconic brands and deep roots in the local community. The merger will allow Tower Health Reading Hospital to use the current space held by Esterbrook Pharmacy to grow and expand.
West Reading Drug Store, located at 538 Penn Ave. in West Reading, is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm, Saturday from 9am to 2pm, and Sunday from 9am to 1pm. West Reading Drug Store also offers their customers two options to refill prescriptions 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The first option is online at westreadingdrug.com. The second is a free app which enables customers to not only refill prescriptions, but also set reminders and save on medications. Current Esterbrook Pharmacy customers must have refills or new prescriptions filled at the West Reading Drug Store by calling 610-375-4366. A pharmacy staff member will assist them with their prescription needs.
“Esterbrook Pharmacy customers will continue to receive the individualized service they are accustomed to by the same friendly, knowledgeable, experienced pharmacists and pharmacy staff at West Reading Drug Store,” says Eric Esterbrook, RPh pharmacist and owner of West Reading Drug Store.
The superior level of service is upheld because, like Esterbrook Pharmacy, West Reading Drug Store is an independent pharmacy.
“Being an independent pharmacy is of upmost importance to me. You are not just a prescription, you are our friends living in our community,” says Esterbrook.
The benefits Esterbrook Pharmacy customers will experience through the merger are expanded hours, curbside pickup, more accessible parking, and a retail area with a selection of unique gifts and greeting cards. Customers will continue to receive current benefits like: compounding service, immunizations provided on-site, free delivery within 10 miles of West Reading Drug Store, the filling of disposable mediplanners, long-term care, on-line prescription refills and access to a free app which enables a user to refill prescriptions 24 hours a day 7 days a week, set reminders and save on medications.
Established in 1897, the West Reading Drug Store is the oldest pharmacy serving Berks County. From day one, the drug store’s focus has been to provide exceptional care to everyone who walks through their doors and to never forgot the importance of hometown pharmacy philosophy.
Eric Esterbrook, RPh owner of West Reading Drug Store and Outlook Pharmacy Services is a lifelong resident of Berks County. He graduated from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and has more than 27 years of experience. In 2022, he was appointed by Governor Wolf to be one of five members of the State Board of Pharmacy.
