Affton Medicine ShoppeCommitted To Personal Service

The Affton Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy

is proud to offer personal service to its

Affton neighbors.

Lynn Schmittgens and her late husband,

Tom, purchased Medicine Shoppe from

the retiring Belle and Richard Schneider in

1998. In 2014, pharmacist Jim Hok joined

the staff and in 2015, Schmittgens partnered

with Jerry Callahan and Bill Jehling, who

provide a fresh perspective in the nancialand marketing aspects of the pharmacy.

“As pharmacists, Jerry and Jim do all

they can to stay up to the minute on new

developments in pharmacy, so we can better

serve our customers,” Schmittgens said.

Since Schmittgens started in the

business, insurance has changed the face of

health care.

“And there are so many more options

for treatment of many

conditions, she said.

“People’s expectations are

higher — they want more

knowledge. Many people

take a more active role in

their own health care.”

One way Medicine Shoppe–Affton

helps customers do this is by offering

onsite translations in Bosnian and Chinese.

And, although mail order prescriptions are

common, Schmittgens is happy to see a

return to store orders.

“Mail order undermines good patient

care in many ways,” Schmittgens said.

It’s that in-store interaction with patients

that Schmittgens nds the most rewarding.“Sometimes what we do really changes

people’s conditions,” she said.

The staff includes pharmacy techs Amira

Mujkic, Karen Richard and Amie Reynolds

and pharmacy students Shelby Meyers,

Lauren Little, Emily Reinhold and Abigail

Overby.

Customers say they appreciate the

shop’s delivery man, Dave Downhour, as

well as the store’s good

service, the real people

who answer the phones and

the staff’s knowledge and

understanding.

industry all her life. From assembling

earrings for a neighbor’s accessory

business, she moved to working

and the Britches boutique in

Columbia. It was at Britches that

she really started thinking about

in a customer.

esteem nowadays,” Sauter said, “and I

great to hear a woman go from

complaining about her thighs,

arms and stomach to walking

out with her head held high, her

shoulders back, a smile on her

face and a Leopard bag in her

hand.”

After 33 years in the lighting business,

Dave Jockenhoefer, founder and president of

Lighting Associates Inc., nds this the most

exciting time to be in the business.

“This past year has been a tremendous

conversion from legacy incandescent, high-

intensity discharge and uorescent-type light-ing to LED, he said. “We are selling 70 per-

cent plus LED versus 30 percent of the older

technology. I don’t think I have ever seen

such a rapid change in the industry in more

than 40 years as we are experiencing today.”

Jockenhoefer and his partners, Paul War-

ner and Joe Thomason, represent more than

90 lighting and controls manufacturers in all

facets of the electrical industry. The compa-

ny provides services to architects, engineers,

designers, electrical contractors and electri-

cal distributors, focusing on

schools, churches, hospitality

changes. The staff has grown from 26 people

in 2004 to 45 today.

enstein in Webster. Kristen Jockenhoefer andTony Randazzo live in Kirkwood. Patricia

Anello and Dave Jockenhoefer live in Web-

ster and our whole company works in Web-

ster,” Dave Jockenhoefer said. He noted that

Pat Anello heads the customer service team

ships all our people have with our custom-

ers,” he said. “Without good people you

don’t go far in this business or any business.”

LED lighting is becoming so common

that most of the company’s

jobs now involve LED prod-

ucts or conversions. LED

costs have come down and

the quality and energy ef-

ciency are increasing. “Quite

green, as they say!”
