Well the LEGO building contest has come and gone again.  We had almost 50 entries this year that went along with the Teton Valley theme.  Kids and their parents were seen bringing in their creations into the drugstore in Driggs to let them be displayed in the windows.  All entries received a free ice cream cone at the soda fountain.

Winners received a gift certificate to the store, and most winners immediately used it to buy more LEGOs.

The annual Lego Building contest is coming soon to Corner Drug. More details to be announced soon! Like us on Facebook to learn more…

Childrens’ books at Corner Drug

For all you thinking about visiting Teton Valley, Idaho (home of Corner Drug) this is what a sunrise looks like as it comes up behind the Grand Teton.  Be sure to stop in and see us at the Drugstore for any pharmacy needs you may need.  While we take care of your needs, the kids can get a treat from the old fashioned soda fountain, or spend some time in the largest toystore in the valley.  We have also started a children’s book section that is already a hit.

Corner Drug’s Soda Fountain in Driggs has stopped making the Fresh Lime Freeze as of Labor Day 2012.  But we will start again on Memorial Day weekend 2013!  It might appear again for special engagements in the interim.  Thanks for your support of the best little pharmacy in Idaho!

Back2School_Sale2012The Back to School sale is in full swing at the drugstore in Driggs, Idaho.  Lots of people are still finishing up their summer vacations and stopping in the soda fountain for a refreshing treat during the heat of the summer.  Sale items will go fast so come check it out!

The day we have been waiting for is finally here.  Corner Drug, home of Teton Valley’s Fresh Lime Freeze will start serving our signature drink this Friday through Labor Day.

If you have never had a FLF before you got to try one next time you come to the pharmacy located in downtown Driggs.  It is part Fresh Lime drink, combined with crushed ice, and mixed with ice cream like a milkshake.  Of course, the secret syrup makes the FLF a valley favorite.

Due to increasing government regulations, Corner Drug will not be participating in Medicare Part B effective 4/15/12.

Medicare Part B is the Medicare segment that deals with DME or “Durable Medical Equipment”.  This consists of billing Medicare Part B for wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, oxygen, ostomy supplies and don’t ask me why but “diabetic test strips” are also included in this segment.

The Medicare diabetic test strips made up a very small percentage of our business and Medicare has been steadily raising the fees associated with participating in this program.  Unfortunately, this means that Corner Drug will no longer be able to supply diabetic test strips for Medicare beneficiaries.  Affected customers had a personal letter and phone call made to them well prior to this change to help transition them to a new supplier.

Corner Drug does still stock diabetic test strips and sells them at a competitive street rate.  Please ask us about this meter and test strips if you would rather avoid being forced into mail order for your test strips as Medicare is doing.

Please understand that Medicare Part D is not affected by this decision.  Medicare Part D has to do with the prescription drug benefit.  Just about every senior participates in this Medicare benefit and they will not be affected by this change.

Corner Drug staff are ready to answer your questions about this recent change and encourage you to contact us at the pharmacy if you have any questions.  Thanks for yor continued loyalty and support of Corner Drug as we enter our second century of service to Teton Valley!
