Lewis Drug development in Sioux Falls , South Dakota . “ With 33,000 square feet allocated to us and a further 40,000 for Sanford , the new complex will become our headquarters upon completion , which is set to be at the end of 2023 ,” explains Mark . “ With our pharmacy connected to the waiting room , it will bring a very convenient arrangement to the citizens of Sioux Falls .” He adds : “ We also have an ongoing program where we physically place a Lewis pharmacist within Sanford ’ s hospitals or clinics to provide patients with information and operational access to pharmacy services . This provides a great resource for the community , as it provides ultimate healthcare convenience for the local region .”
Additionally , Lewis opened a new pharmacy in Harrisburg in 2022 , also attached to a Sanford clinic , and a further two stores are currently under construction . Mark also reveals : “ Sanford is always looking for acquisitions and is in the process of completing one in the
Minneapolis region and it would be unusual if Lewis is not involved in some way .”
Turning to the future , Mark explains : “ We would like to continue being successful with measured growth , both operationally and in terms of relationships . I want to continue supporting my team , as I believe the business is only as successful as the individuals within it . However , the whole industry is changing at light speed and there is a lot of demand to enter the healthcare sector , but not enough room for all to succeed . So , I think we will witness a shift in pharmaceutical services as we continue to adapt to broader changes within the healthcare sector .”
With a distinguished reputation for quality and convenience , alongside its loyal customer base , Lewis is flexibly navigating industry changes and is set for success in 2023 and beyond . ■
