KC Family Pharmacy is merging with Clint’s Pharmacy. Clint’s Pharmacy Owner, Clint Bane, has decided to retire after an outstanding 43-year career as a local pharmacist and pharmacy owner.
Clint’s Pharmacy of Brookhaven has served the community for 15 years. Before that, Clint spent his early career at Bane Drugs, his local family pharmacy for 28 years, also located in Brookhaven.
Clint’s dad, Clinton Bane, Jr., otherwise lovingly known locally as CE, opened Bane Drugs in 1954.
“I learned from my dad many years ago, to always put your patients/customers first, and you will succeed. Thank you, my Brookhaven family, for your business. Come see us at KC Family Pharmacy. We will make your transition easy as pie,” said Clint Bane.
KC Family Pharmacy owners are Wesson natives, Carlos and Abby Garcia, along with Alex and Dana Shoemake. Together, they serve communities in Brookhaven (the Shoemakes) and Hazlehurst (the Garcias) with their two pharmacy locations. Both families are happy to share this big news with their patients/customers and the community they dearly love.
“All of us at KC Family Pharmacy are grateful and excited to serve the patients of Clint’s Pharmacy. We look forward to welcoming them and providing them with convenient, friendly service,” said Dana Shoemake, pharmacist and one of the KC owners.
As part of his retirement, Clint’s Pharmacy will officially merge with KC Family Pharmacy on February 11. This merger allows patients to continue receiving friendly, personal care while honoring Clint Bane’s long and dedicated career.
As part of the merger, KC Family Pharmacy is welcoming a new pharmacist to their team. Madisyn Bane, who previously served patients at Clint’s Pharmacy, will now be working with KC Family Pharmacy. This helps ensure a smooth transition and familiar faces for customers.
“I’m honored to come back to work with the mentor who inspired me to become a pharmacist, while also continuing the legacy my father-in-law created as he retires,” said Madisyn Bane.
Madisyn is referring to Dana Shoemake, KC Owner. Shoemake was her manager while interning at Wal-Mart. Shoemake spent almost 18 years at Wal-Mart Brookhaven Pharmacy. Shoemake spent her first two years at Walmart as an intern while in pharmacy school and her last ten as manager.
“The patients and customers there are what inspired me to set out on my own to become an entrepreneur, opening my own pharmacy,” said Shoemake.
Her pharmacy feels very personalized with cute, affordable gifts and snacks and toys.
Complimentary gift wrapping is even available. It’s not standard gifts they’re offering inside. Most everything for sale is Mississippi-made products like Scotsman serving platters and cutting boards and Scent Library candles, brands created by Ben and Erin Napier of HGTV’s hit show “Hometown”.
“It feels like home to me here,” said Shoemake. “We’re locals, we love our community, and I hope it shows.”
It certainly does. The kids enjoy Dip N Dots ice cream. Parents appreciate the convenient drive-through window. The community loves having an urgent/primary care next door.
Patients of both pharmacies do not need to take any action. KC Family Pharmacy and Clint’s Pharmacy are handling all prescription transfers. This includes insurance information, refills, and records. Customers do not need to call or fill out any paperwork. All prescriptions will be transferred automatically, and refills will be ready as usual.
One service that patients counted on and loved was Clint’s delivery service, and that won’t change in this merger. KC Family Pharmacy will also be providing delivery within the Brookhaven city limits.
KC Family Pharmacy is located next to the old Perkins Hardware, which is 543 Brookway Boulevard, Brookhaven, MS 39601.
To celebrate a smooth merger transition, all are invited to KC Family Pharmacy on Wednesday, Feb. 11. Refreshments and giveaways will take place all day to celebrate Clint’s retirement and the future of KC Family Pharmacy.
Call KC Family Pharmacy’s Brookhaven location at 601-515-9684. The pharmacy can be found on Facebook, Google, or online at www.kcfamilyrx.com.
KC Family Pharmacy looks forward to continuing to serve the community with quality service, compassionate care, delivery services, and an incredible gift shop with complimentary gift wrapping.
