May 25: Mixer at Apothecary By Design

If you are not yet using an independent pharmacy, now may be the time to switch. According to a new Consumer Reports survey, independent pharmacies provide better service, make fewer errors, are more likely to have medications in stock, and fill prescriptions faster than their chain competitors.

Portland is home to one independent pharmacy: Apothecary by Design, which will be hosting a Buy Local Mixer on Wednesday, May 25th.

This is a great opportunity to check out this unique business, while enjoying refreshments and mingling with other Buy Local enthusiasts. We hope to see you there!

When: Wednesday, May 25, 2011
Where: Apothecary by Design, 84 Marginal Way (map)
Time: 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
