Greenpark Pharmacy & Gifts- Girls Night Out Business Highlight
I was so excited when Keri suggested Greenpark Pharmacy & Gifts as one of our invited vendors for Girls Night Out because as many of you already know, I am actually a pharmacist and Danny’s Dad and Uncle are also. (In fact, a little tid bit of trivia about Danny and I- we had 8 pharmacists in our wedding including all my bridesmaids.) But enough Clark family facts. Let me tell you about this hidden treasure in the neighborhood.
The running joke between Nancy and Ken Hughes is “Do we own a gift shop or pharmacy?” The answer is BOTH! Eighteen years ago, Nancy and Ken bought a “typical” pharmacy in the Greenpark professional building near the medical center. Ken, a pharmacist, always wanted to offer compounding drugs. Doctors send their patients to Ken when mass produced medications don’t work. Soon the Greenpark Pharmacy was exclusively compounding prescriptions. Nancy saw that the space filled by over the counter medications was just getting dusty – people bought their Tylenol and Advil other places. That is when the “Gifts” were added. Since moving to their Bellaire Blvd. location 5 years ago, Nancy and Ken’s shop has flourished.
Just walking into Greenpark Compounding Pharmacy and Gifts makes you feel good. Nancy and Ken’s goal is to make their customers feel better physically and mentally. Obviously, the compounding pharmacy helps those with special pharmaceutical needs. The gift store just makes you feel good walking in. “We have patients come in with their prescriptions not knowing there is a gift store. They usually find that perfect gift for themselves before leaving with their medication. Others come in for the gift shop and don’t even notice the pharmacy.” Nancy has a knack for finding unique items you “just have to have.” Holiday , baby, teen, jewelry, home, religious, funky and elegant, you’ll find the perfect gift for just about everyone on your list. Some of Nancy ’s favorites right now are beautiful wood block plaques shown with sepia toned images and bible verses from The Julie Chen Collection. Also, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces from China Baroque. Pendants and bracelets are fashioned from hand-cut china set in sterling silver. Nancy has a full flavor selection of candles from the Houston Candle Company. These no soot, soy based candles boast scents like Iced Lemon Biscotti, Sage & Citrus, and Spring Rain.
Greenpark Compounding Pharmacy and Gifts carries a full line of Caldrea products. These “green” household products are made with essential oils and are never tested on animals. Caldrea’s Sweet Pea Stain Remover is a must for anyone with kids (or husbands!)
Of course, this is just a taste of all that Greenpark has to offer and not to forget their specialty compounded perscriptions. Come to our Girls Night Out and meet Nancy. (Don’t forget to pre-register at www.GNOHouston.com to be entered in the doorprize drawing) Nancy will have her favorites and more for that perfect holiday gift. And, the next time you are on Bellaire Blvd., be sure to visit Greenpark Gift Shop (& Pharmacy). You won’t find aspirin here in this pharmacy, but you will find the perfect gift for nearly everyone in your family. Greenpark Compounding Pharmacy & Gifts 4061-F Bellaire Blvd
