New Parkway Pharmacy opens in Jenkins; funeral home owner showcases chapel renovations
Summary
Pharmacists Eric Hicks and Cassie Rose introduced the new Parkway Pharmacy at Jenkins and described services and hours; Kevin Hall, new owner of Holland Jones Funeral Home, Jenkins Chapel, outlined renovations and invited residents to visit.
Eric Hicks, pharmacist at Parkway Pharmacy at Jenkins, opened the meeting by welcoming residents to the new local pharmacy and saying the store will serve prescription needs and carry over-the-counter items and gift supplies. "My name is Eric Hicks, pharmacist," he said and provided a contact number, (606) 832-6097. Cassie Rose, the other pharmacist, joined the welcome.
Kevin Hall, who identified himself as the new owner and funeral director of Holland Jones Funeral Home, Jenkins Chapel, described the facility renovations — new lighting, windows, carpet, chairs and a full lounge area — and invited families to stop by. "I'm Kevin Hall, the new owner of the Holland Jones Funeral Home, Jenkins Chapel," he said, and provided a phone number for the chapel (606) 821-2191.
Why it matters: both businesses signaled local investment in Jenkins' downtown services and parking and accessibility were highlighted as selling points. The council heard these community announcements at the start of the session before moving into regular business. The meeting packet also noted that both items were promoted on Jenkins TV channel 90.9.
What’s next: the businesses will continue outreach to residents and the council retains zoning and licensing oversight should any future permitting issues arise.
