A strong community is always growing and changing. The Camden community is happy to welcome two new businesses to the neighborhood!
VitaLifeRx just opened on September 8 and is an independent, privately owned pharmacy. The two owners, both pharmacists, Justin Pacult and Naoshua Lor have built their business from the ground up. Their goal is to bring the independently-owned pharmacy back into the neighborhood. VitaLifeRx is a full service pharmacy, providing prescription drug re-fills, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and dietary and herbal supplements. They also provide free delivery and mailing options. They are located in Camden Center, at 4203 Webber Pkwy. 612-294-1200. So stop by Mon.-Fri. 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sat. 9 a.m.-1 p.m.. for all of your pharmacy needs and welcome your new neighbors.
Feel like your wardrobe could use a little makeover? Then Camden's other new business, Tonieh African American New York Style & Fashion Boutique at 4149 Thomas, should be your next stop.
