Muscatine

Claude “Doc” Wester opened Wester Drug at 315 E. 2nd Street in Muscatine, IA in February 1945. The business has operated from this location to this day. When Doc opened Wester Drug, there were 14 independent pharmacies in Muscatine. In 2005, Wester Drug became the last remaining independent pharmacy in Muscatine. Wester Drug was incorporated in 1990. Upon Doc’s death, his son and daughter-in-law, James and Gail Wester, became sole owners.

On January 1, 2009, Wester Drug, Inc., was sold to Cory and Michelle Garvin. A DME display/demonstration area was opened in the Batterson Building at 319 E. 2nd Street, Suite 102 in Muscatine in January 2010. Cory and Michelle Garvin are sole owners of Wester Drug, Inc and Wester Drug LTC, LLC. Wester Drug is truly a family-owned business, not only employing Cory and Michelle but also Cory’s mother, father, 2 sisters, and niece.
