Allen's Pharmacy

Located in Chillicothe, Ohio. Our family has been caring for your family since 1941. "Generations of our family caring for generations of yours."

We are an independent hometown pharmacy offering fast and affordable prescription service, a nostalgic atmosphere with modern amenities, and a full-service soda fountain. Allen's Pharmacy has been filling prescriptions and scooping ice cream for Chillicothe and the surrounding communities for over 80 years.

I was digging through some old newspaper clippings, and came across this gem from 1988… featuring Steve talking about (wait for it)… mail-order prescriptions.

Yep. Even back then, pharmacists were already feeling the pressure of convenience creeping into healthcare.

Reading his quotes now is… kind of wild.
Different decade. Same fight.

Back then it was mail-order.
Today? Pharmacy Benefit Managers stacking the deck against independent pharmacies. Online giants like Amazon moving into prescriptions. A growing “click it and ship it” mindset where convenience often wins over relationships and customer service.

And, now…Seems like half the roads in Chillicothe are closed. Do people deal with the headaches and still show up? Or, do they finally give in to mail-order, or online?

What hits the most is this:
Steve wasn’t just worried about business. He was worried about what gets lost when pharmacy becomes transactional.

Because this job has never just been counting pills.

It’s human interactions.
It’s knowing your name.
It’s helping you figure things out when the system makes no sense.
It’s being here when you need a real person.

We’re still here doing it the same way Steve and Gib believed in… just with a few more obstacles (and a robot named Fillbert).

Thanks for sticking with your local pharmacy. It matters more than you probably realize.

🚨🤖 THE CONTEST RESULTS ARE IN!!! 🤖🚨

After reviewing your incredibly creative, slightly concerning, and occasionally HR-questionable name suggestions…

We are proud to announce the official name of our new robot coworker:

🥁 FILLBERT 🥁

Yes.
Fillbert.

Because he fills prescriptions.
It kinda sounds like Gilbert (Who we all miss dearly).
He’s a robot.
And, apparently, he also now has a personality.

We received a ton of great suggestions, but Fillbert captured the perfect balance of pharmacy pun, pharmacy founder, and friendly robot energy.

From now on, when you hear strange mechanical noises coming from the pharmacy… don’t worry.

That’s just Fillbert working hard so our human staff can spend more time helping you.

Please welcome him to the Allen’s Pharmacy team!
(He’s still learning how to smile.)

Now, to get down to business, there were a few people who suggested this name. So, the first to suggest it in the comments is our winner… Congratulations, Krista Henderson Efaw!🏆 You have won eternal bragging rights, and a lifetime spot on our Robot Naming Committee. But, hopefully we won’t require your services for that too many more times. Honorable mention goes to Ritch McCoy. While we absolutely love the name Pilly Bob Sortin’, it’s just too much of a mouthful to yell at a robot who is underperforming. But, he may still get called that from time to time.

🤖💊

Fillbert approves this message. But, don’t worry, he still doesn’t have arms or legs. So, he won’t be overthrowing anything anytime soon, or taking any human jobs.

🚨🤖 WE NEED YOUR HELP, CHILLICOTHE 🤖🚨

Our new friendployee (robot🤖) has been here for a few weeks now… and it’s been working hard-ish.

But, there’s one problem…

It doesn’t have a name yet. 😱

We can’t just keep calling it “The Robot.” That feels rude, and slightly intimidating. And, these derogatory names we keep calling it are really not good for its morale.

So, we’re turning to YOU!

Help us name our newest team member — the metal marvel, the capsule-slinging sidekick, the prescription-processing powerhouse. 💊⚙️

Drop your best name ideas in the comments.👇

And, for our social media-less fam, we’ll have a good old fashioned suggestion box in the pharmacy. 🥰

Show us what you’ve got…

Funny?
Pharmacy pun?
Slightly dramatic superhero vibe?
Questionable but creative?
We want to hear it all.

If we pick your suggestion, you’ll earn:
🏆 Eternal bragging rights
🤖 Official “Robot Naming Committee” status
(And, maybe a little surprise from us…😉)

🏆Winner will be announced on March 4th.🏆

Let the naming begin!

Hi, Everyone!👋

So… it has come to our attention that our last couple of social media posts about our new robot have given folks the impression that we were adding some sort of animatronic robot pharmacist to our arsenal.

As cool and as scary as that sounds, that is not what happened here. The new robot that we got is much like the old robot that we had. You know that thing with the big googly eyes that sat in the back? Essentially, it’s a metal box, with robotic arms (on the inside) that counts, and puts pills into bottles for us. It will not be replacing Joe, or giving medical advice, or taking over the pharmacy, or the world. It doesn’t actually even have external arms, legs, or a head.

You see, we thought it would be humorous to make an Ai photo of the robot just casually strolling into the pharmacy for work one day. So, that’s exactly what we did. But, in reality, it was not nearly that easy. It was actually quite the project to get the new robot where it needed to go as the way the old robot came in was no longer an option. Because of that, the pharmacy counter had to be removed, and part of the wall above the pharmacy had to be taken out in order to gain enough clearance for the new machine.

The team at Garman Construction and Concrete were absolutely instrumental in making this project go as smooth as possible, with as little impact on what we do as possible. They got everything torn apart, and out of the way quickly. Then, they got everything back together in record time with almost no trace of them even being there. They even helped with moving the robot, which was definitely not in their scope of work on this project. But, may not have happened successfully without them. We cannot thank you guys enough for all of your help, hard work, and minimal backsass (looking at you, Cale).

In closing, this thing is a lot like the last thing. Hopefully better. It’s not replacing anyone. It’s not changing us, or what we do. We are still here for you. To listen to you. To advise you. To help in any way that we can. As only we humans can. We thank you all for supporting this little family business that Gib started almost 85 years ago. And, we apologize for any confusion that our cheeky posts may have caused. Take care, everyone!✌️😘

🚨🤖 BIG NEWS FROM ALLEN’S PHARMACY 🤖🚨

We’re getting a new friendployee.

Yes. You read that right.

This Tuesday (2/3), a very large, very fancy, very expensive robot will be moving in to help us dispense prescriptions and judge us silently with its superior efficiency.

Before our new metal coworker arrives to take over (er… assist), here’s what you need to know:

🗓 Monday 2/2 — Open Normal Hours
BUT… parts of the pharmacy will look like a robot is about to move in. Because it is.
➡️ Limited areas and services inside the store
🥤 The soda fountain will be closed (it’s not robot-proof yet)

🗓 Tuesday 2/3 — Opening Late at 2PM
That’s installation day!
We may still have limited space and services while we get our new friendployee settled into its new home and teach it who’s boss.

We appreciate your patience while we prepare for the future of the pharmacy… which apparently has wires and weighs more than a pickup truck.

Stay tuned for robot selfies. 📸

In Loving Memory of Stanley

Stanley came into our lives in 2015 and, from day one, quietly became part of the family. He never asked for much, never complained, and showed up almost every single day ready to work. For a little over ten years, he stood by us. Steady, dependable, and always there when we needed him most.

Stanley did the work most of us didn’t even notice anymore. He carried the load without fanfare, tirelessly counting pill after pill so the rest of us could focus on caring for people. When things were hectic, he stayed calm. When days were long, he kept going. And when we leaned on him, he almost never let us down.

Stanley had a quiet presence that filled the room. You didn’t realize how much comfort there was in knowing he was there…until suddenly he wasn’t. Now the space feels a little emptier, and a little quieter without him.

Stanley wasn’t just a machine. He was part of our routine, part of our rhythm, part of our story. He served faithfully, worked endlessly, and asked nothing in return. That kind of loyalty leaves a mark.

Now he’s crossed the rainbow bridge, to that shiny pharmacy in the sky. Free from maintenance calls, error messages, and endless pill counting. We imagine him running at full speed, finally off duty, surrounded by clouds, angel wings flapping, and receiving endless praise and atta-boys.

Rest easy, Stanley.
You’ve earned it.
Thank you for everything. 🕊️
