Edloe’s Professional Pharmacies had its
origin in the late 1800’s as Eaton’s Pharmacy. Located at 2601 Que
Street, the pharmacy was purchased after several ownership changes by
Leonard Lacy Edloe in 1945. A native of Staunton, Virginia, and a graduate
of the Howard University College of Pharmacy, he operated the pharmacy
under the name of Harrington’s Pharmacy. |
 |
This
pharmacy was very unique in that there was no soda fountain. The
pharmacy offered free delivery, which was done on bicycle. The
pharmacy also became known for the fact that it carried hard-to-find
products.
In
1970 Leonard Levi Edloe, who had also attended the Howard University
College of Pharmacy, joined his father in the practice. It was at
this time that the decision to move into a more modern building was
made. Plans were slowed down in 1972 with the death of the senior
partner. However, in 1974 the pharmacy moved into the East End
Medical Center on North 25th
Street and the name was changed to Edloe’s Professional Pharmacy.
In
1992 the Southside location was added, and in 1998 the Richmond Community
Hospital location was added as well. |
The
pharmacy has always been an innovator. In the 1970s, even though the
pharmacy is located in a city built by tobacco, the decision was made not
to carry tobacco products. The pharmacy was one of the first in the
country to be computerized. The 25th Street location has a
clean room. The Richmond Community Hospital location has a private
consultation office.
| In
addition to prescription service, the pharmacy carries
African-American greeting cards, African-American collectibles,
hard-to-find over-the-counter products, and homeopathic products.
The
pharmacy accepts most major prescription plans, accepts Medicare
billing, and is a Medicaid Durable Medical Equipment provider.
In
