If there is one speciality about family-owned, local businesses, it’s the friendly service and personal care of a community-focused staff. That’s one aspect of small town hospitality that Seip Drug keeps at the forefront. Though the business has expanded from its humble origins, the personal touch in each interaction is essential.

“It’s the personalized care that is received,” said owner Sue Seip about the importance of their family-owned business. “People are often known on a first-name basis.”

With daily medications, over-the-counter drugs, and an array of gift options for everyone, Seip Drug is a one-stop shop for all of your pharmaceutical and giftware needs, right in New York Mills.

“We have medications on a sync program for those who get their regular medications,” said Seip. “We also have seasonal and other types of giftware. We carry cards, we have a toy section, and we can often check on ordering things too if there’s something specific that you want. Ask us if you can’t find something you’re looking for.”

Seip Drug’s medication sync program creates a custom convenience for regular customers. The pharmacy is able to contact your doctor when refills are needed for routine medications and then is able to make sure they are in stock and filled so that they are ready for pickup when a refill is required.

Each of Seip Drug’s locations offer this program as well as being able to mail out prescriptions to help accommodate those who aren’t able to get out of the house or for when cold weather makes travel difficult. Whether winter storms or summer heat keep you inside, your prescription can easily be mailed to you for ease of access.

Along with the pharmaceutical side of the business, the storefront also offers a wide variety of giftware within the NY Mills location. From seasonal decor to greeting cards, one is sure to find what they need at Seip Drug. In March, their new supplier will be established which means expanded offerings within the aisles at the pharmacy.

With services ranging from free local delivery, assisted living facility prescription management, prescription shipping, medical equipment needs, and every-day refills, Seip Drug fills each need for those looking for a small town, local pharmacy that does it all. Along with regular medication needs and gift varieties available, Seip Drug even offers in-house vaccinations. 

Seip Drug has 10 locations throughout Central Minnesota with New York Mills, Ottertail, Henning, Battle Lake, Park Rapids, Clarissa, Bertha, Morris, and Fargo.
