Company Description
The history of Lorena Pharmacy began in 1922 when a small pharmacy opened called Warnacks Pharmacy. The brick building originally stood on the corner of Jane and Stevenson Street, now known as Lorena Street and Whittier Blvd. In 1928 the family that currently operates Lorena Pharmacy bought an interest in the pharmacy. The original store was quite small and had an 11 stool soda fountain where ice cream sodas sold for 15 cents. Most of the prescriptions were compounded and made by our pharmacists from bulk chemicals. Pharmacists could be seen compounding formulas using a mortar and pestle.
