Jerry and Wanda Braswell opened their namesake drugstore on Tyler Street in 1981, responding to a need for a hometown pharmacy in a smaller Covington. The store became an unofficial meeting place for neighbors. In 1995, the original building was replaced by a larger, two-story brick structure across from St. Tammany Parish Hospital. The Braswells retired and sold the business in 2018. In September 2023, St. Tammany Health System purchased the business to keep it locally owned, rebranding it as the St. Tammany Health System Pharmacy at Braswell’s. The pharmacy maintains its homespun sensibility while expanding retail operations.

The pharmacy offers curbside delivery, where customers call upon arrival to have prescriptions brought to their vehicle. Dispill Multi-Dose Packaging organizes daily medications into labeled packets with dates and times for easier adherence. Services include immunizations, flu and strep testing, health screenings, and medication therapy management for chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.

Hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
