Company Description

Fruth Pharmacy first opened for business in 1952. Jack Fruth dreamed of serving the local community with a small family pharmacy, and he chose Point Pleasant as the location for the original Fruth Pharmacy. In the early days, Jack posted a sign on the door that said, "In case of emergency, call Jack Fruth at home." His desire to serve the community was evident not only in his willingness to come out in the middle of the night, but also with his involvement with local projects like the founding of Pleasant Valley Hospital. Since then, the company has grown to include 29 stores in West Virginia and Ohio and Kentucky.

Fruth Pharmacy offers all the services of the large chain drug stores while maintaining the principles that made Fruth "Your Hometown, Family Pharmacy." Fruth is a full-service pharmacy and retail store with a down-home touch. Fruth Pharmacy also offers a full line pharmacy with all over the counter medications, health and beauty products, groceries, household items, and a wide selection of gifts, including balloons and flowers.

Fruth pharmacists are involved in the local communities, and develop strong relationships with their customers in order to better serve them. Our Fruth Pharmacists are on duty seven days a week and are always willing to answer your questions. Though Fruth has grown over the last 60 years, we continue to provide the same great customer service in your hometown.
