Wynne Apothecary is a family-owned and -operated business that has served the community of Wynne, AR, for 50 years. The business was established in 1964 by Mr. Joe Manning to provide service and convenience to patients at the new medical clinics located on Falls Boulevard.

The first employees of the store were Mr. Manning, Ms. Bertha Tuggle and Mr. James West, Pharmacist. The original products and services offered included gift items, over-the-counter items, prescription drugs, home delivery and 24-hour service.

The apothecary moved to its present location inside the Jacobs Clinic on February 1, 1976. Ms. Debbie Smith joined the staff February 16, 1976. After the death of Mr. Manning in 1985, Gene Boeckmann took over the pharmacy and has carried on the commitment of providing the highest quality, cost effective care for the customers.

After obtaining his doctorate, Gene — one of 12 children in his family — returned to Wynne. Customers would always ask, “What’s his name?” Wynne Apothecary became the “What’s his name pharmacy?” Even today, customers will come in to the pharmacy and ask, “Is what’s his name here?” You may not remember his name, but you will remember the service you receive at Wynne Apothecary.

Our pharmacy continues to grow and excel by meeting the changing needs of our customers and continuing to deliver the same high standard of customer service. At our pharmacy, we believe in a holistic approach in healthcare. Natural botanicals, vitamins and herbs can play a key role in preventing many health problems, as well as complementing traditional drug therapies.
