Broadway Prescription Shop is a Cape Girardeau institution. Homer George opened the pharmacy at the corner of Broadway and Sprigg Street in 1932, making it the oldest pharmacy in the city. Earlier this year, Kevin Wood and Lee Schlitt bought the pharmacy, maintaining its legacy while offering the most up-to-date products and services. Wood, a graduate of Southeast Missouri State University and South University School of Pharmacy in Savannah, Ga., previously was the pharmacy manager at Target in Cape Girardeau. Here, he talks about being a downtown business owner, pseudoephedrine restrictions and prescription plans.
