What is the history of Webb’s Family Pharmacy? 

Since 1860, Rochester citizens have passed through the doorway at 724 Main Street to find a drug store. It is an astounding span of time at one location. No local retail establishment can come close to matching it. Webb’s Family Pharmacy today is serving a sixth generation of customers, reaching back to founder Asa Plank. The longevity of this drug store locale has been marked by similar endurance among its proprietors: Plank: 27 years Ruh Family: 46 years Baxter Family: 49 years Harry Webb: 35 years at the Rochester location, Harry purchased Harris Drug in Akron in 1995 and opened a new location in North Manchester in 2018.

We hear you celebrated an anniversary recently! How did you celebrate? In April we hit the 35-year mark. We plan to hold a customer appreciation event this summer.
