On a Mission to Serve Their Customers
Independent Gift Store and Pharmacy Offers Unique Blend of Customer Service
By Jessica Harlan
Eric Carrouth worked for a big-box pharmacy until he went on a medical mission trip to Zambia in 2017 that changed his life and that of his wife, Renae. Feeling a calling to be in a situation where he could truly help people, Eric opened an independent pharmacy in a small medical complex in Pearcy, Arkansas, that’s also occupied by an eye doctor and a dermatologist. Renae established a robust gift department, since there’s not another gift shop in the area. She shares what makes the pharmacy and gift shop thrive.
