Vermont Business Magazine Kinney Drugs, a 100% employee-owned community pharmacy chain in New York and Vermont, invites members of the public to attend its 120th Birthday Celebration from 10AM to 2PM in all locations. In Montpelier, the company will also be celebrating its grand reopening. Montpelier was heavily damaged July 9-10 in historic flooding – causing a near-total loss.
After approximately ten weeks of intense salvage, clean-up, and reconstruction efforts, Kinney’s Montpelier pharmacy is ready for a “soft opening” Monday, September 25th. The grand reopening will be celebrated September 30th to coincide with Kinney’s 120th anniversary.
CELEBRATION WILL INCLUDE:
FREE birthday treats – 12PM until gone.
First 120 customers receive a FREE 16.9 oz bottle of Kinney water.
Special $5 off $20 birthday coupon – expires at 2PM.
“This will be a big day for us! We’re thrilled to celebrate our 120th birthday and even more thrilled to reopen our Montpelier store. That pharmacy has been part of the fabric of Montpelier for decades – dating far back before it became Kinney Drugs – and we knew how important it was to reopen,” said John Marraffa, R.Ph., President. The City of Montpelier welcomed Kinney Drugs with open arms, and we are dedicated to coming back stronger than ever. We couldn’t have done it without the almost superhuman efforts of so many of our employee owners, and I want to thank them publicly. I think founder Burt Kinney would be so proud if he were still with us! I also want to thank our patients and customers for sticking by us as we worked to rebuild! We hope to be here for Montpelier for another 120 years.”
