The multi-generational business, part of the Henderson community for 60 years, celebrated its move from its previous location at 501 S. Chestnut Street to its new location beside Quick Print on the more heavily-traveled Dabney Drive.
At 4,500 square feet, the new location is more than double the size of the old building, allowing for a bigger pharmacy area, larger storefront and a gift shop.
Founder Bill Mast, Flye’s father-in-law, was in attendance at the event. “He has always been loyal to this town,” Flye said of Mast. “We wanted to reinvest in Henderson. We wanted to stay a part of Henderson and to honor part of what he [Mast] started; we are thankful for him.”
Mast Family Drug is open 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday – Friday and 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday.
