Austin Peavy, New Pharmacist at Central Drug Store

CENTRAL — Austin Peavy, a 1999 graduate of Central High, has become the newest pharmacist at Central Drug Store.

Austin comes on board as an honor graduate of LSU and Xavier University College of Pharmacy.  His three years of compounding pharmacy experience along with immunization certification make him a valuable addition.

He has been doing relief work once a month at the drug store for over a year and finally made the jump to full time at the beginning of March.

Austin said he is “extremely excited about working here. The personalized service the drugstore offers is what makes it so unique.  It is one main reason families of Central, including mine, have been coming here for so many years.  I’ve been coming in here my whole life and even had the opportunity to finish my pharmacy school internship under the supervision of Claud Derbes and Mike Anding, two people I consider my professional mentors.”

Austin resides in Central with his wife Emily and looks forward to filling your pharmaceutical needs. Claud Derbes said, “Stop in and welcome Austin to his new position.”
