Our
tradition began in 1964 when Gary K. Hobbs opened a full-service
drug store to provide the astronauts, engineers, and their families
who would land a man on the moon the medicine and services they needed.
Along with his wife Patricia and their four children, Mr. Hobbs' pharmacy
was poised at the dawn of aeronautical history. The Apollo Mission brought
together some of the greatest minds and adventurers of our time. Gary
remembers well the astronauts' wives coming to visit the store to calm
their nerves while their husbands were in space!
As the space program, NASA, and Merritt Island grew, so did
Hobbs pharmacy. The pharmacy thrived with the influx of professionals
and retirees moving to the lush surroundings of coastal Brevard County,
Florida. And Hobbs reamins committed to the community which supported
us through those years.
After 25 years of service, Gary passed the reins to his son Mark
Hobbs who would continue the tradition established while he was
just a child. Mark would streamline the operation and diversify the
store to include infusion therapy services, medical equipment, compounding
and consulting services. At the same time our personal commitment to
the customer has remained our core business philosophy and everyday
practice.
Hobbs
is an exceptional example of a thriving independent pharmacy in
a world of corporate consolidation. By proving ourselves as a leader
in pharmacy and community service, Hobbs can provide services no chain-store
is able or willing to offer its customers.
