Tom Gierwatoski, R.Ph., owner of Platte Valley Pharmacy, along with his staff, have been excitedly watching the construction—and with good reason! They recently relocated to the first floor of the sleek, new Medical Office Plaza 2, in a prominent space. Tom notes, “Our pharmacy is the first thing you see when you walk in the door.”

Wife Shelly Gierwatoski is the creative genius and Merchandiser for the front end. She worked with Gladson Design Group on customizing the unique, curved 3,200 sq. ft. space, and selected the colors and fixture concepts.

The pharmacy is also home to the Medical Center’s gift shop, carrying a vast assortment of front end merchandise—you name it, you’ll find it here! In addition to compounding and prescription filling, the pharmacy is going gangbusters on durable medical supplies now. The expanded space has allowed Tom and his staff to maximize their service offerings, which considering they’re on a medical center campus, means high demand for braces, surgical boots, walkers, and a wide variety of gift items. Tom notes, “We now have room to properly display all the merchandise, truly streamline patient services, and offer a visually appealing space—or respite—to all who stop by.”
