Apothecary celebrates 25 years
|
A little over 25 years ago, Kathy Munday purchased St. Joseph Drugs.
The store was located at 218 E. Lincoln St. in St. Joseph and was owned by Ken Irle. The older building didn’t have much at a first. An older electrical box with screw-in fuses, few windows and a small back room.
Didn’t matter to Munday. It was meant to be.
