September 29, 2009 — R.H. Moore Drug Co. of Franklin is excited to announce its new partnership with Sheldon’s Express Pharmacies. Sheldon’s Express, a subsidiary of Houchens Industries, is one of Kentucky’s fastest-growing pharmacy chains and a leader in cutting-edge pharmaceutical retail.

“Sheldon’s Express is excited to be joining Mr. Robert Graves, previous owner and operator of R.H. Moore’s, to continue offering competitive pricing and the absolute best express service in Franklin,” according to Steve Sheldon, CEO of Sheldon’s Express.

The service Franklin has come to know and love at R.H. Moore’s will not go away, but many improvements are planned — the foremost being a relocation around the corner, into a state-of-the-art facility with drive-thru service.

“I feel this was the very best move I could make for my employees and the community of Franklin,” Graves said. “This assures our community that we will have what R.H. Moore started many years ago for many more years to come.”

In announcing the closing of the transaction, Jimmie Gipson, chairman and CEO of Houchens Industries, said that “strategically, Moore’s expands our pharmacy presence outside of Bowling Green, and we are pleased to welcome Mr. Graves and his loyal employees to our family”. Houchens president Spencer Coates added, “as a long standing and reputable business in Franklin, Moore’s is an excellent choice to begin our strategy of expanding our pharmacy operations.”

Sheldon’s Express also operates two pharmacies in Bowling Green, each with multiple drive-thru lanes, compounding, customizing and flavoring, as well as more than 500 $4 generics. Sheldon’s Express honors all insurance cards, including FSA and HSA cards. Visit SheldonsExpressPharmacy.com for more details.
