Fadi Nuseibeh has been a pharmacist for 12 years and the owner of Patient Careway Pharmacy in Lansing for more than two. As a believer in independently owned pharmacies, he saw an opportunity he couldn’t resist when the Haslett’s only independent pharmacy recently closed. Trained employees were there, the need was there, and now, Nuseibeh’s Haslett Health Mart will be located in
Haslett Village.
“The service [in independent pharmacies] is by far much better than in chains,” says Nuseibeh. “You’ll have people who know your name behind the counter. The personalized service is completely different.”
The 1,565 square foot store will offer free delivery services to Haslett, Okemos and East Lansing. It will employ four workers when it opens in late summer, and Nuseibeh hopes to hire more as the business grows. He believes Haslett Health Mart will have an advantage by being independently owned, but a national franchisee.
“It’s going to be part of the Health Mart franchise,” he says. “It has some name recognition and, most importantly, the kind of buying power that will allow us to compete with the chains.”
