Weigants Pharmacy, located at 714 Kihekah Ave, Pawhuska, Oklahoma, was started in 1979 by Jim and Ellen Weigants. Gavin and Lindsay Gatrell purchased the pharmacy in 2021 and have since upheld its reputation for offering pharmacy services patients can always count on. From the time they took over, they have implemented innovative approaches to service, including making it more accessible to patients in a wide variety of channels; in-person, through the telephone, and online through their website. “Our mission is to provide safe, high-quality patient care while exhibiting the highest level of professionalism and respect for our patients,” said Lindsay. The Gatrell’s have breathed new life into the business by expanding its offerings to include their family-friendly 1950’s soda fountain and unique gifts.
The menu at this pharmacy and scoop-shop is affordable and fun. Some of the all-time most ordered items include chocolate malts, prickly pear lemonade, floats, and cherry phosphates. My favorite was their strawberry cheesecake shake. Each treat is made of fresh ingredients right in front of your eyes, all are tall tasty and delicious, here a few of their wonderful offerings at famiy friendly prices:
Pair your favorite drink with one of Mimi’s Cookies or another treat from their shelves and you have an instant pick-me-up while shopping for Weigants’ thoughtful gifts and strolling the streets of Pawhuska this holiday season.
