Cherry Hills Village, Colorado –
Front Range Pharmacy, the trusted medicine shop in Englewood, recently marked five years of serving the Denver metro community. This milestone has inspired founder and pharmacist Michael Scruggs and his dedicated team to reflect on their journey and renew their mission of providing accessible, personalized care to their neighbors.
“Starting a medicine shop during the height of a global pandemic wasn’t what I envisioned when I dreamed of owning my own drug store,” Scruggs shared. “It tested us in ways we couldn’t have predicted, but it also revealed just how much our community values connection and compassion. I’m endlessly grateful to the people who have supported us and to my staff who give their best every single day.”
Since its opening in April 2020, Front Range Pharmacy has stood apart from big-box chains by focusing on what matters most: genuine relationships and tailored care. This approach has resonated with patients who are increasingly frustrated with impersonal service and unreliable mail-order options. In fact, a recent study highlighted a growing trend of Americans turning to independent drug stores to meet their health needs—and Front Range has become a proud example of why.
In the years since its opening, Front Range Pharmacy has become a cornerstone of health and wellness for countless families in the Denver metro area. Patients know that when they walk through the doors, they’ll find not just medication, but a team that truly cares. This personalized, community-driven approach has been the secret to the drug store’s growth and staying power in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.
“From day one, our goal was to create a space where people feel seen and heard,” Scruggs said. “We’re not just filling prescriptions; we’re meeting neighbors, learning their stories, and finding ways to support them in ways that actually matter.”
Front Range Pharmacy’s compounding services are a key part of its commitment to personalized care. This specialty allows the team to craft custom medications tailored to individual needs—ideal for patients with unique medical requirements, allergies, or those seeking hormone replacement therapy at different life stages. These services go beyond standard prescriptions, offering solutions that prioritize comfort and safety.
Equally impactful is the store’s innovative DayPacks service, which organizes medications into easy-to-manage biodegradable packets. “For caregivers and busy patients, these packets are a game-changer,” said Scruggs. “They’re free, customizable, and they make it simple to stick to a treatment plan.”
Long-term care has always been central to Front Range’s mission. The medicine shop works closely with caregivers and facilities to ensure residents—whether they’re aging in place or living in memory care communities—receive their medications on time and with the utmost care. Scruggs added, “Our long-term care program is about trust. Caregivers know they can count on us to be reliable partners in their residents’ health.”
Another highlight is the store’s affordable home delivery service, which brings medications straight to patients’ doors within a five-mile radius for only $4.00 per trip. “Home delivery has been one of our most requested services,” Scruggs noted. “We’re proud to offer it again at full capacity. It’s a small gesture, but it can make a big difference for someone who can’t easily make it in.”
As Front Range Pharmacy looks ahead, the team is energized by the growing demand for health care that values people over transactions. “This anniversary isn’t just about marking time—it’s about recommitting to the principles that guide us every day,” Scruggs said. “We’re here to listen, to innovate, and to be the medicine shop our community can count on.”
