A Family of employee owners serving you since 1971.

Nicole, Chief Pharmacist Originally from central Minnesota, I am privileged to call Alexandria my home for the past 4 years. It is a wonderful place to raise my family and a perfect place to advance my professional career. Being a part of Thrifty White Pharmacy for almost 8 years, I have grown to appreciate the company’s values for patients, employees and community. Our focus on bringing healthy outcomes to the Alexandria area community is what drives my day. I look forward to continuing to get to know my patients and be an accessible healthcare provider for medication questions, clinical services including immunizations, health screenings, and comprehensive medication reviews, as well as an advocate for lifestyle modifications that can lead us all to healthier outcomes.

Kim, Pharmacist I have worked for Thrifty White Pharmacy since graduating from the University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy in 1994 and have been at the Alexandria location for 17 years. I enjoy the connections I have made with members of this community as a result of providing pharmacy services to them and their families. It is the most rewarding part of pharmacy practice! At Thrifty White Pharmacy, our focus is to provide the best possible patient care, whether that means selecting an over-the-counter medication to resolve someone’s symptoms or finding a more affordable option for a prescribed medication. People come into our pharmacy with a variety of needs; the caregiver who feels overwhelmed by the complexity of their loved one’s medications requires more time and instruction than someone who wants to make a quick stop after work to pick up a prescription refill. At Thrifty White Pharmacy, we understand how to tailor our services to meet the expectations of our customers and strive to provide excellent service.
