History of Gaughn's:
Gaughn’s Drug Store’s history dates back to 1917. After being in two different partnerships in the early 1900’s the namesake of the store, Joseph Gaughn, began operating a pharmacy on his own in 1917. In 1922 he moved his business into the brick building at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue West and Hickory Street where it still operates from today. Since then the drug store has had four ownership changes. Melvin Ahlgren who was Mr Gaughn’s staff pharmacist bought the store in 1939. Mr. Ahlgren’s staff pharmacist, Irv Poust, purchased the business in 1958. Harold and Nancy Singleton took over ownership in 1980. The most recent passing of the torch happened in 2005 when the Singletons sold the business to Robert Ruhlman, Scott Newton, and Judy Mullen. Bob and Scott both worked for the Singletons as interns during their college days and as pharmacists later. Judy has been with the store for over thirty five years. Many things have changed since Mr. Gaughn first opened the doors years ago. Back then pharmacists made most of the medications they dispensed by compounding them. A number of the old bottles that contained the liquids and powders used to make the medicines dispensed are on display at the store. Today almost all medications given to patients have been made by large pharmaceutical companies. The pharmacist’s typewriter has been replaced by computers and laser printers. Gaughn’s became the first retail pharmacy in the county to be computerized in 1979. The brick building where Gaughn’s is located has been in existence since the late 1800’s. While certain things have obviously changed over the years, the basic look of the building has remained the same. Inside, Gaughn’s has the look of an old fashioned store. Many visitors to the store comment on the unique look that it has. The original metal ceiling is even still in place. With “big box” stores and insurance owned mail order pharmacy becoming commonplace in the country, Gaughn’s has done its part to keep the friendly, competitive independent pharmacy a viable part of their community.

⏱️ Monday Minute | Magnesium & Better Sleep
Welcome to this week’s Monday Minute from Gaughn’s Drug Store—your quick wellness tip to start the week off right.
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a big role in helping your body relax, making it a popular choice for supporting better sleep. It helps calm the nervous system and relax muscles, which can make falling asleep—and staying asleep—a little easier.
💤 Why magnesium matters:
• Supports restful, more consistent sleep
• Helps reduce muscle tension and nighttime cramps
• Supports heart health and healthy blood pressure
• Aids stress management and nerve function
• Contributes to bone health and energy production
Small habits can make a big difference. If sleep or stress has been a challenge, magnesium may be worth considering.
📍 Stop by Gaughn’s Drug Store and talk with our pharmacists—we’re always here to help you find the right fit for your wellness routine.
