PLANNING officials in Wisconsin have made a pharmacist's dreams come true approving his application to convert a former Pizza Hut outlet into a pharmacy.
Ozaukee Press reported that Michael Vineburg plans to reopen the site as an independent pharmacy during the northern hemisphere summer.
The renovations will see the building's "Pizza Hut peak" removed, and the addition of a drive-thru window to allow patients to pick-up their scripts without having to leave the comfort of their car.
While Vineburg plans to make changes to the structure of the building, he intends to retain at least one service the previous occupant provided, offering home delivery.
Vineburg, who currently works at Ye Olde Pharmacy in Cedarburg on the outskirts of Milwaukee, said he had always wanted to own a pharmacy.
"I have found independent pharmacies generally have much more time for patients," he said.
"That's what an independent pharmacy offers - solid relationships and customer service."
