Village Green Store Renovation Planned Using “Whole Architecture”

July 28th, 2011 by Village Green Admin

We have some great news for our valued customers! We will soon be remodeling our store in Bethesda. Plans include updated, lighter and brighter retail store space (watch for a fun rearrangement of our floor plan), along with shifting the locations of both our retail and compounding pharmacies in order to enhance our service to you. We will also have an in-store Call Center to handle our busy telephones.

As the “Greenest Pharmacy in America,” and to contribute to the wellbeing of our customers and staff, our architect, Dr. Nir Buras, PhD, is applying a scientifically-based, holistic/wellness approach to our renovation called Whole Architecture. The concepts of Whole Architecture can:

  • reduce stress 60%
  • increase wellbeing 30%
  • increase productivity 15%-20%

So, when is this going to happen? The tentative plan is to begin the first phase of remodeling at the end of August (this will be invisible to our customers). Two additional, more noticeable phases will follow, but we’re hoping this will not impact any of the great service and product selection that you get from us now.

We look forward to your thoughts about this, and your experience in our new space. We’ll be posting some photos as we go along, so stay tuned.
