Photo Gallery: Oswald’s Pharmacy Ribbon Cutting

-

Oswald’s Pharmacy, now located at Naperville Plaza, celebrated its new expansion on October 1 with a ribbon cutting hosted by the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce and officiated by Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico and Mayor Emeritus George Pradel.

One of the oldest family-run businesses in northern Illinois, Ozzie’s first opened its doors in 1875  in downtown Naperville.

Both mayors have memories of visiting the pharmacy dating back at least 50 and 70 years respectively in downtown Naperville. And both mayors remember the former medical businesses that used to be in Naperville Plaza where Oswald’s new medical equipment center opened six weeks ago.

Mayor Pradel recalled some of his first visits to the original downtown location… “to buy Green River from the soda fountain” when he was a student at Naperville Community High School.

In 2004, Oswald’s moved to Naperville Plaza. The Plaza is also home to Casey’s Foods, Trader Joe’s, First Community Financial Bank and some 25 additional stores, restaurants and service business.
