Grand Re-Opening Celebration Marks Transition From Wagey Drug to Kohll’s Pharmacy & Homecare

Kohll’s Pharmacy & Homecare (www.kohlls.com) celebrated the grand re-opening of the former Wagey Drug pharmacy on June 1st, kicking off the event with a Lincoln Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting ceremony. Kohll’s Pharmacy & Homecare, family owned and operated in Omaha since 1948, purchased Wagey Drug in 2015. Located at 800 N. 27th St., Wagey Drug was established in 1924 and has remained a trusted community pharmacy in Lincoln for over 90 years.

Since the purchase of Wagey Drug, physical improvements are evident from the corner of 27th and Vine Streets. New, bright blue awnings have replaced the previous faded maroon ones and a large new electronic LED sign showcases the store’s specials and important health reminders. Inside, a larger selection of medical equipment is displayed in the newly remodeled facility to include many displays and a showroom for people to touch, feel and try items to keep them independent and in their homes longer and safer. Displays include in-store demos of stair lifts, wheelchairs, scooters and more. New rooms have been built for compression and mastectomy garment fittings. Additionally, Kohll’s created on a new custom compounding lab as well as a pre- and post-natal section in the store.

A past recipient of the Governor’s Wellness Award, Kohll’s Pharmacy & Homecare has nine locations in Omaha, Papillion and SW Iowa. For more information, please call (402) 476-3341 or visit www.kohlls.com.
