“A lot has changed over the last 9 years in Bow Island and in Retail Pharmacy… The face of retail is nearly unrecognizable. One thing has and never will change at Bow Island Apple Drugs Store -our dedication to our customers.”- Taria Gouw, Owner

“Employees are the single most important ingredient in the success of a service business. Without good people, you shouldn’t expect to stay in business. This is one tradition that will not change.” – Curtis Gouw, Owner

Giving back to the community…

“Our thinking is that we own a great little Pharmacy, a family business, just down the road from where you live. In fact, many people tell us that our kind of store is soon to be swallowed up, soon to be driven out by big city and chain stores. We think there’s still a place for a store that is focused on inspiring healthy and active lifestyles along side the families of our community. A business that knows you by name, treats you like family, makes you feel better about yourself and is willing to listen… adjusting to build a stronger community where we can feel proud to call it home.” – Taria Gouw, Owner

Charting the future…

“We hope to keep moving forward by grabbing hold of opportunities which will rally round health and living an active lifestyle with our families and friends. We realize that you have a lot of choices so sitting idle is not an option. We need to expand on building on that trust and loyalty of the people in our community. The same people who have entrusted us for so many years and understand that small can deliver big value when it comes to hometown benefits. Be assured we will continue to stay the course by taking care of each customer one relationship at a time.”
