Award Winner

The Family Pharmacy family: Owner and President Lynn Morris is flanked by his daughter, Director of Marketing and Collections Mandy Jones, and his wife, co-owner Janet. Morris is holding the 2007 W. Curtis Strube Small Business of the Year Award, which the company’s Plainview Road location received at the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual small business luncheon May 9.

The pharmacy was one of three finalists – the others were Smillie’s IGA and Buxton-Kubik-Dodd Inc. An independent panel of judges chose the pharmacy based on staying power, response to adversity, innovative products or services, business philosophy and community contributions.
