It has been a little over a year since owner/pharmacist Sherif Hanna opened the doors to The Prescription Shoppe and The Fashion Shoppe.
The success and good reception from the community has been overwhelmingly positive and has spurred Hanna on to offer the best services possible. Building on that success, they have recently added and opened The Script Café, resulting in “three great shops in one great location.” The Script Café is a gathering place for people to converse and enjoy delicious home cooked meals, pastries and baked goodies. With a subtle but not pretentious décor, The Script Café is an excellent choice, especially for those looking to dine out without sacrificing a healthy lifestyle or who have special dietary requirements – they even offer a vegetarian menu.
Just walk through the door and the aromas and atmosphere will captivate you immediately. They also offer take out and catering services and are open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturdays 9am to 4pm. Before or after enjoying a delicious experience at The Script Café, diners can take the opportunity to shop or have prescriptions filled. The Prescription Shoppe offers complete pharmaceutical care in a department store setting. In addition to home health care, compounding services, and ostomy supplies, The Fashion Shoppe boasts a complete line of upscale women’s fashions and accessories, including unique wedding and reception decorations, party favours, hair care accessories, toys, books and gifts for all occasions, plus home décor. The bright, attractive lighting, modern interior design and a welcoming atmosphere all contribute to the sense this is no ordinary trip to fill a prescription.
“It’s very exciting to be able to develop this business venture,” says Hanna, adding The Script Café is just another way to inspire residents to shop and dine local. He also hopes it will inspire other Palmerston businesses and entrepreneurs to take a second look at Palmerston’s potential.
He is also quite pleased they contribute by offering local employment. Hanna’s 30 years of experience as a pharmacist and businessman assisted him in identifying the needs of the local community – working hard with the town to develop new business models that work. Hanna’s goal is to continue to offer a one-stop shopping experience and he credits his friendly staff and family for their teamwork in helping him to achieve his goals. He is thrilled to be part of this vibrant community and notes it is very important for him to give back to the community. The Prescription Shoppe supports local schools’ fundraising initiatives and activities and the Palmerston Lions Club. The Prescription Shoppe and Fashion Shoppe offer customer-friendly shopping hours: Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturdays 9am to 3pm. Free local delivery to the surrounding area is available for prescriptions and every Wednesday seniors save 15%. Drop by for a pleasurable shopping and dining experience, 261 Main St., Palmerston.
