The wait is over.\u00a0 <\/span>On September 2, Pharmacy Market<\/a> will be swinging open its doors to a 7 day a week full service pharmacy, groceries and produce, freshly made sandwiches, household staples and\u00a0 <\/span>beauty items, as well as a range of beer and wine.\u00a0 <\/span>Twenty parking places will be available off North Street, free for 30 minutes, and you can have a seat on the covered sidewalk terrace to watch people go by as you wait for your prescription to be filled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"TonyGurley<\/a>For Tony Gurley<\/a>, a long time pharmacist in Raleigh, who bought land for his Blue Ridge Pharmacy<\/a> across from REX Hospital from Joe Myer of Blue Ridge Realty<\/a> back in 1985, the opportunity to move into Glenwood South was too good to pass up.\u00a0 <\/span>As a Wake County Commissioner and having worked a year in the governor’s budget office, Tony had his ear to the ground.\u00a0 <\/span>And he heard again and again of the need for amenities for downtown residents who want to walk to pick up what they need at the end of a busy day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A pharmacy AND a market?\u00a0 <\/span>Tony\u2019s inspiration was the European model, where workers drop by a location near their neighborhood transit stop to purchase\u00a0what’s needed\u00a0for supper, and in the process can also get\u00a0the odd paper good, beauty product or prescription.\u00a0 <\/span>He also thinks of the Walgreens at Times Square. For Glenwood South, this officially turns us into the urban style neighborhood that many of us have long awaited.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tony is a neighbor.\u00a0 <\/span>He moved to Cameron Village with his wife, Robin a few years ago, thinking that it might be a good time to slow down.\u00a0 <\/span>But that was not to be.\u00a0 <\/span>When his old friend Joe Myer popped up with the first floor space at the Gramercy Apartments<\/a>, Tony had a vision of working together with Robin (also a pharmacist) for the first time.\u00a0 <\/span>They already see themselves as a part of the Glenwood South community, reaching out to the diverse populations that fill our streets.\u00a0 <\/span>They want to make a difference here to people of all ages and backgrounds.\u00a0 <\/span>And they want to be good neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Tony that means listening closely to what his customers want.\u00a0 <\/span>He welcomes residents to give him their input.\u00a0 <\/span>He knows that this model that started in Europe and NY City will take on strains of Glenwood South.\u00a0 <\/span>What do we need at the end of the day?\u00a0 <\/span>What do we want at our fingertips, so that we don\u2019t have to get into our cars to fetch necessities?\u00a0 <\/span>These are the things he wants us to tell him.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is what you need to know:<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony\u2019s presently hiring 25 full and part time positions.\u00a0 <\/span>Go to indeed.com<\/span><\/a> to review the positions and share your information.\u00a0 <\/span>He\u2019ll be starting to hire next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

The store will be open daily 7AM – Midnight, (pharmacy 9AM – 7PM), Noon to Midnight on Sunday (pharmacy Noon to 5PM).<\/span><\/p>\n

Come to the Grand Opening on September 2<\/span> and meet Tony and Robin, and the new team.\u00a0<\/span>They are already making a difference, just by investing their vision and commitment in Glenwood South. Stop by to thank them for hearing your wishes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
