Established in 1948, Bloomington Drug was the first pharmacy in Bloomington, Minnesota. Originally owned by the Burns family, Bloomington Drug sat nestled on Lyndale Avenue as a cornerstone neighborhood pharmacy. In 1971, Paul Schaffer purchased Bloomington Drug and along with his wife Doris and a dedicated staff, grew Bloomington Drug to be a recognized partner for patients and healthcare providers across the Twin Cities.
In 2012, after more than 40 years of ownership, Paul & Doris passed the torch on to their youngest son Jeff, a graduate of the Creighton University School of Pharmacy. Today, Bloomington Drug is proud to be a second generation, independently owned and operated family business. At the core of the Bloomington Drug mission is a deep desire to serve, to meet patients where they are and exceed their expectations.
Bloomington Drug is a multi-faceted business providing solutions for pharmaceutical needs across multiple platforms. With a lengthy history in the art of prescription compounding, Bloomington Drug is recognized as a leading compounding pharmacy for those providers and patients looking to achieve customized medication solutions.
In addition, Bloomington Drug’s Medication Packaging team is a well-oiled machine partnering with facilities of all sizes to simplify and streamline their dispensing practices. Our veteran staff’s experience has produced tried and true systems that insure accuracy and efficiency every time.
