Company OverviewFounded three generations ago, Clark’s Rx Pharmacies operates nine local locations and is Dayton’s only locally owned pharmacy chain. What began as a corner drug store in 1939 has grown into a thriving business focused on improving the quality of life of its customers and dedicated to providing the same personalized service that was the cornerstone of the company’s reputation nearly 70 years ago. Today, Clark’s employs more than 80 people and has annual sales of more than $30 million. In an age of corporately owned, chain drug stores, Clark’s has continued to succeed through its simple formula of exceeding expectations, offering a full range of healthcare products and services and developing one-on-one relationships with customers who have come to know and trust their Clark’s pharmacist. Beyond the expert healthcare advice and personalized service, Clark’s is focused solely on the health needs of its customers. Each location specializes in a full range of medical products, from vitamins and supplements, to needed first aid supplies and over-the-counter medications. Each store also offers home medical equipment to serve the home health needs of patients. Company HistoryIn 1939, James Clark Sr. purchased the Belmont Pharmacy, where he was the store pharmacist since 1934, and renamed it Clark’s Belmont Pharmacy. In 1966, James Clark Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps, became a pharmacist and took over the family business. With a goal to grow the successful Clark’s Belmont Pharmacy, he opened his second store location less than 10 years later. This was the first Mr. Prescription drug store, and is still in operation on Springboro Pike West Carrollton. In 1975, he founded Mr. Prescription Inc. and laid the foundation for the business as it is today. In 1986, he opened his third store on Bigger Road, which is now the present-day Washington Square location, and was joined shortly after by son Tim, who also entered the family business as a pharmacist and entrepreneur. In 1998, Tim opened the fourth store location in Oakwood and then opened the fifth in 2000 with the purchase of Tip-Top Drugs in Tipp City. A sixth location opened in 2001 in New Lebanon, and the Brookville store opened in 2002. In 2003, the home medical products division was started to give customers a one-stop shop for all their medical needs. In 2005, Tim has added locations in Franklin and Troy. Amidst the company expansion, Tim returned the company to its original name Clark’s Rx, to best reflect its community commitment and rich heritage. Company Services
