Lewis Drug

Lewis Drug is a pharmacy in Huron, SD, operating as part of the Lewis family-owned retail network. The store serves the local community by combining prescription services with everyday grocery items, lawn and garden supplies, and specialty products. As a neighborhood store, it focuses on providing accessible healthcare options and daily essentials for residents in South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota. The pharmacy has been a trusted presence in the region since 1942, with a history spanning over 84 years of serving small towns and communities.

The pharmacy offers specific services designed to simplify medication management and promote health. SmartPack is a free service that pre-sorts medications into daily, color-coded pill packs, eliminating the need for bottles and ensuring dosing accuracy for those on multiple prescriptions. This system allows customers to make one monthly trip to the pharmacy while maintaining an organized routine. For safe disposal of expired or unused medications, including pet meds, the store provides a MedDrop Box in partnership with the State Board of Pharmacy and Assured Waste Solutions. This program uses DEA-approved vaults to protect the community and environment, though it does not accept trash, sharps, or hazardous waste. Additionally, local pharmacists offer health screenings to provide guidance on managing personal health. Beyond pharmacy services, the store supports local initiatives through the Lewis Cares program, where a portion of proceeds from various products goes to local non-profit organizations. The store also hosts events such as the Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign and participates in the Santa for Seniors program to support community members during the holiday season.

The location sits on Dakota Ave S, about a mile from Prospect Park. It is situated near 21st Street Southwest and 21st Street Southeast, with the KIJV-AM radio tower nearby. The store is positioned to serve the immediate Huron area, offering a one-stop experience for shoppers seeking both medical and general retail needs.

Lewis Drug stands as a long-standing pharmacy in Huron, dedicated to providing essential healthcare services and everyday goods to the local community. Its combination of specialized medication services and community support programs reflects its role as a central part of the neighborhood since 1942.
