We’re thrilled to welcome McDowell’s Pharmacy of Gates County (formerly Todd's Pharmacy of Gates County) to the McDowell’s Pharmacy family! 💙
Congratulations to Thomas and the entire Gates County team on this exciting new chapter. Same trusted care, same friendly faces, now part of a growing tradition of independent, community-focused pharmacy care across eastern North Carolina.
Please follow our page for exciting healthcare updates!
I want to take a moment to share some exciting news with you personally. After many wonderful years serving the Gates County community, Todd’s Pharmacy is beginning a new chapter. I’m honored to announce that our pharmacy will now be known as McDowell’s Pharmacy of Gates County. We would like to thank Brad, Billy, and William for the opportunity to continue providing personalized care for this wonderful county.
As a lifelong resident of eastern North Carolina and a 4th-generation independent pharmacy owner, I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue the proud tradition of local pharmacy ownership here in Gates County. I currently own and operate two independent pharmacies, one of which is a family drug store that has been continuously serving customers since 1901. My commitment, and that of our entire team, is to ensure you continue to receive the same compassionate and patient-centered care you have always trusted.
While the name on the front of the building is changing, the people behind the counter are not. The same friendly faces you have come to know (along with a few new ones) will continue to serve you with the same dedication and care you deserve. We are excited to introduce a new Pharmacist, Lane Bass, to lead our team. Lane was born and raised here in eastern North Carolina, and he is excited to provide high-quality pharmaceutical care for Gates County and surrounding areas. Lane and I look forward to meeting you.
Please know that our goal is to make things as seamless as possible for you during this transition. If you ever have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our phone number will remain the same, and we are always here to help. Thank you for your continued trust and support. We are honored to serve you and look forward to many more years of caring for this wonderful community.
- Thomas McDowell, Owner and Pharmacist
