All About Thurman's Pro-Med Pharmacy
Members of the Thurman family have been contributing to the community as life-long residents of East Texas. Tris Thurman's maternal and paternal relatives have lived in the area since the 1870's. His grandfather, B.C. Sustaire, served as the Mt. Pleasant Chief of Police from 1955-1984. His father, Rex Thurman, was a well-respected telephone man all of his life. In 1997, Tris married Stephanie (Taylor) Thurman. At that time, Stephanie, a pharmacist, began working for a chain pharmacy in the area. In 2006, the opportunity arose for her to manage a locally-owned pharmacy focused more on patient care. When the owners of that pharmacy decided to sell in 2012, Tris & Stephanie felt God leading them to open a local hometown pharmacy. In November of 2013, they opened Thurman's Pro-Med Pharmacy on the corner of 4th & Madison in downtown Mt. Pleasant. With a business model built on the motto, “Professional Service, Hometown Care”, they were blessed to have the support of the local community and enjoyed taking care of their patients. As the business in Mt. Pleasant grew, the decision was made to expand to the Omaha/Naples area. In December of 2020, Thurman's Pro-Med Pharmacy Morris County opened at 201 Main in downtown Naples beside the post office. Currently, each site takes pride in serving their community.
