Greystone Community has proudly welcomed a new business to the neighborhood. Trenton and Michelle Shipley opened the doors to the public, for the grand opening of their new Greystone Pharmacy, located off Highway 5 in the Greystone Medical Plaza.
The couple has lived in the Greystone Community since 2010, right after Trenton graduated from Pharmacy School. Now just five years later, Trenton said he was ready to do something more for his family. Moreover, what better way to serve the community then to have a pharmacy that offers convenience and is affordable?
Trenton notes that he hopes to be a great business for the residents of Greystone and the nearby communities. “We’re really excited, and very thankful for this opportunity.”
Trenton also admits that having his own business allows him to spend more time at home with his wife, and their 11-month old son Ezra Duke.
Trenton said he chose, Greystone as the perfect location for his pharmaceutical business because of it’s convenience to the residents. “There’s nothing on this side of town and there’s two big communities, Magness Creek and Greystone; just the convenience factor; people not having to go in town to get their prescriptions.” Shipley insists he wants to be a part of the community as a business owner and not just another resident.
The Greystone Pharmacy offer full prescription services as well as over the counter medicines and food items.
The Shipleys insists their goal is to please their customers as much as possible.“We’re taking suggestions on anything that would be convenient for us to carry for people in the Magness Creek and Greystone area so people don’t have to go into town. They can just swing by here and pick it up. We also have a drive through.”
Mrs. Shipley admits she is excited about serving the people in her community. “This is the absolute perfect location, for us to reach our patients, our community, our friends. This is exactly where we want to be.” She adds that living across the street from their business makes it even more convenient. Mrs. Shipley, a native of Arkansas grew up in Cabot and played basketball all throughout her school years. Upon graduating high school, she attended ULAR and received her degree in Sociology. She taught school for a few years before deciding to go into business with her husband. Nevertheless, Michelle admits it is really their son, Ezra Duke that inspires them. “We started doing all of this so that we could see him more.”
Local resident, Frankie Glover said she is looking forward to having the convenience of the pharmacy. “I am super excited about having the pharmacy here because it is so close to my house. And they also deliver.”
Christy Bryant, a former co-worker and friend of the Shipleys says they are a very special couple. “I’m excited for the faith leap they are taking. I feel like God has truly blessed them. He has shown favor over them because they are good people.”
Monique Clark says she considers the Shipleys a part of her family. “I’m excited because God allowed us to be friends with them. I am very happy tts.
