Thrifty White to move forward with Health Outcomes store design

MAPLE GROVE, Minn. — Regional player Thrifty White plans to break ground during 2014 on 8-to-10 new stores that will include the Thrifty White Healthy Outcomes pharmacy design, according to Tim Erdle, EVP store operations and marketing.



These stores will be phased-in with construction completed between fall of 2014 and 2015 year-end.



The Thrifty Whites Healthy Outcomes pharmacy features a new design of kiosk drop-off and pickup counters, ask your pharmacist desk, patient wellness rooms, patient education kiosk, a digital television for patient programs and services, and a pharmacy drive-through.  



This is a new 3,000-sq.-ft. professional pharmacy proto-type with plans of seven to be opened in Minnesota, two in North Dakota and one in Iowa. The company also has the new proto-type model opening up in Mandan, N.D., on June 16.



The interior finishes will include a maple wood look throughout the store with maple flooring, maple pharmacy counters, store fixtures trimmed with maple and maple doors with frosted glass in the patient wellness rooms.



Thrifty White currently has 18 locations converted to its Healthy Outcomes format.
