Lewis Kumbier, R.Ph.
Pharmacy Manager |
Lewis Kumbier, R.Ph., came to Morton Drug Co. in 1986. He immediately started learning everything he could from his two most influential mentors: Peter Morton and Millard Robinson, or “Robbie.”
“I found out how to develop a loyal customer base and treat customers as family so they feel important in the store.”
In fact, for the first two years that Lewis worked under Robbie, he’d occasionally get customers who didn’t want to deal with him, but would rather wait until Robbie was available.
With a smile in his voice, Lewis remembers deciding, “When I came out from under Robbie, I told myself that no one else was going to do that to me ever again, not once I got my own store.”
Nowadays he cultivates the same close relationships with his customers, and credits Morton’s with helping him live his dream of making a difference in people’s lives.
“It really warms your heart to be serving the third generation of a family, or when people go out of their way to come in and tell you how much you’ve done for their mom or dad.”
