It’ll be the end of one era and the beginning of another one this week, as the iconic Webster’s Pharmacy passes out of Webster family hands and into new ownership.
But, say new owners Michael and Meredith Miller, it will be slightly renamed and rejuvenated to reflect their belief in the continuing value of a community pharmacy.
“We’re going to tweak the name a bit — it’ll be Webster’s Community Pharmacy, because we’re all about the community — we believe there’s still a place for a community pharmacy,” said Michael Miller, who has worked there as a pharmacist part-time since 2006.
And he knows what he’s talking about — the Millers bought and rejuvenated the Fair Oaks Pharmacy in South Pasadena, which they owned from 1989 to 2005. Of that business, Miller said, “we basically started from nothing until it became very well-known. We’re planning to turn Webster’s into the Altadena icon it once was.”
