Take a look at what popped up online:
Former Beemon's Drugs pharmacist Whitney Harris and her husband, Matthew, are opening a new pharmacy at The District at Eastover. Mr. Harris said The District Drugs & Mercantile will have a Beemon's "feel" as much as possible, including "many familiar faces behind the counter." He said Beemon's was "an absolute pillar of Northeast Jackson" and that his family will try to preserve that tradition. Best wishes to the new pharmacy.
Now if they get some of that old-fashioned coca-cola, I'm there. ;-)

In the "District of Eastover " are there some tax or economic development breaks to a new business that is starting in that area?
Awesome news. So glad they were able to work this out. Knowing your pharmacist is so much better than going to CVS or Kroger. Look forward to supporting them.
Great news... I will now quit using cvs.
I love Whitney!!!! So happy she’s taking this on. I hope everyone supports this and shops local
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS! Beemon's sent all their scripts to CVS and it SUX. Already switched to Kroger, which is better, but still.
@3:39
There are no tax breaks or incentives on the development. Not quite sure why there would be.
YESSSSSSSSS! No more CVS! Good riddance to pharm assistants who stroll at .0005 mph to retrieve your Rx, slap it on the counter then turn away and silently play with their 'do without a word!
Actually, NOBODY wants to 'know' their pharmacist. I've purposely avoided using any drugstore with a friend or acquaintance behind the counter. The last thing any of us wants is a blabber-mouth friend telling others what prescription drugs we're on or why.
Anonymity and confidence in such matters is essential. I don't trust any 'neighbor' with such information, regardless of how cute or friendly she is.
Is this the one (family) that used to be in Maywood Mart?
@5:28...yes, why would there be? That’s not the way this works...you pissant business people pay the developers for the privelege of being in The District. Why would they ever do anything to incentivize businesses to locale there... this is NE Jackson !
Thank goodness! I loved the local feel and great service at Beemon, and since they've closed CVS is just awful. These folks can't get open fast enough, can't wait to switch back to local.
@8:10 sounds like you got into something that won’t wash off with soap and water.
Great! Another place to go where there’s no parking.
And I went in to the food court / bar area and asked the bar dude for a tea or a water.
No dice. He couldn’t pull that off with his equipment.
And he kept talking to his lady friend.
Look for this place to be filing a chapter soon.
11:56 - Nope. I'm on blood thinner, cholesterol and blood pressure meds only. Just have zero desire to have a personal relationship with the person who fills those prescriptions. I also prefer that my wife not use the gynecologist who lives two doors down. There's just something about waving at him when we're both on our riding mowers and the wife is bent over tending to the knockout roses.
8:59, that was priceless!😁

Sounds like your being coy claiming a type of STD... well I take an std med and used Beemons... I know Whitney and I always feel safe knowing they wouldn't dare violate my right to privacy blabbering that information to anyone. I was in college in at Texas tech and to this day Lubbock Texas leads nation for std on college campuses.
Great news! We will be back! Stunned to learn some of our co-pays are higher at Walgreen's and asking a pharmacist for advice on over the counter remedies is not possible. And, God forbid if a 'script runs out and you have to get a hold of your doctor to refill it.
All of the tax breaks went to Mattiace in Ridgeland. The theater that was to built by Ted Duckworth will now show up in Ridgeland in time for the new Star Wars movie.
Summa you people cleave to the oddest forms of social interaction and now we learn that visits to the pharmacy also qualify for entry on your social calendar. Also counted among your daily thrills are a visit to the teller at Regions, the lady in the window at the tag office, your favorite checker at Kroger and the guy back in the kitchen at Mama Hamils who is such a pleasant fellow. God help you.
Don’t worry, with the rise of AI your std treating MD and local pharmacy will be all automated. Your social credit score will decide if you deserve to take expensive meds and get therapies. Big brother will know everything.
Big brother will know everything.
No doubt you'll be a red flag candidate.
Whitney, I was so glad to hear that you are open. I've been to Kroger, CVS, and Walgreen's and have been so frustrated.
