CENTRALIA PHARMACY GROUP, INC.

What CENTRALIA PHARMACY GROUP, INC. does

Centralia Pharmacy Group, Inc. is an independent, founder-owned community pharmacy operating two retail locations in Centralia and Chehalis, Washington (Lewis County). Founded in May 2017 by pharmacists Will and Courtney Quinby, both Washington State University pharmacy school graduates with prior national-chain experience, the business was established to fill a gap left by a recently closed independent pharmacy. The company serves local residents, families, and licensed caregivers through walk-in retail, drive-thru, and home-delivery channels. Core services include prescription dispensing, multi-dose bubble packing for medication compliance, immunizations (Flu, Shingles, Pneumonia, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Measles, Travel, and COVID-19), and compounding referrals routed to Tim's Pharmacy in Yelm, WA for customized formulations such as dye-free, preservative-free, alcohol-free, or sugar-free medications.

The technology stack is intentionally lightweight and largely third-party. Patient-facing digital engagement is delivered through the RxLocal mobile and desktop application (developed by NewTechSys), which supports refill requests, family prescription management, direct pharmacist messaging, and medication reminders. Bubble packing is implemented as a manual compliance-packaging workflow rather than a proprietary automated system. The business is affiliated with industry aggregators including Cascadia Pharmacy Group, the 4C Pharmacy Affiliate, the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), and the Washington State Pharmacy Association (WSPA), which provide collective buying power, advocacy, and operational support. No APIs, AI/ML systems, proprietary platforms, or technology patents are disclosed.

Commercially, Centralia Pharmacy is a private, bootstrapped, family-operated business with no external private equity or venture capital funding. Revenue is generated primarily through prescription dispensing reimbursed via insurance plans and patient co-pays, supplemented by professional services revenue from immunizations, compounding referrals, delivery, and compliance packaging. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is community-led: word-of-mouth referrals, local trust, personalized pharmacist relationships, and organic social engagement on Facebook and Instagram. The company is actively hiring staff pharmacists, consistent with incremental expansion of service volume rather than transformative scaling.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Walgreens: National retail pharmacy chain offering dispensing, immunizations, drive-thru, and mail-order. Comparable as a direct competitor for prescription volume in Centralia's trade area, but operates vastly larger scale and broader service portfolio.
• Rite Aid: National retail pharmacy chain (and Bartell's parent). Comparable offering to Centralia — prescription dispensing plus immunizations — at chain scale, and active in Washington State retail pharmacy.
• CVS Pharmacy: Largest U.S. retail pharmacy chain, also operating clinics and PBM services. Competes directly with Centralia for prescription dispensing and immunization customers in adjacent geographies and via mail-order reach.
• Costco Pharmacy: High-volume retail pharmacy known for transparent cash pricing and dispensing efficiency. Competes with Centralia on prescription price perception and is increasingly present across suburban and secondary markets in Washington.

Emerging players

• Capsule: Digital-native pharmacy offering free same-day delivery and a consumer app experience. Operates in overlapping capabilities (mobile refills, courier delivery, modern UX) that compete for the same digitally-engaged patient segment.
• Amazon Pharmacy: Digital-first mail-order pharmacy with home delivery and transparent pricing. Competes for the same prescription-refill customer across Centralia's catchment area, particularly capturing convenience-oriented and price-sensitive patients.
• Alto Pharmacy: Tech-enabled pharmacy with free same-day delivery, adherence features, and provider-messaging UX via its own app. Comparable to Centralia on the modern digital patient experience layer, though geographically weighted to metro areas.

Regional players

• Bartell Drugs: Long-standing independent-style retail pharmacy chain historically serving the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon). Comparable to Centralia Pharmacy as a community-focused regional pharmacy operator, though it operates at broader scale and is now owned by Rite Aid.
• Haggen: Regional Pacific Northwest supermarket chain that historically has operated in-store pharmacies. Comparable to Centralia as a Pacific Northwest retail operator potentially colocating pharmacy access points in similar trade areas.

Direct peers

• Tim's Pharmacy: Yelm, WA compounding pharmacy and Centralia's official compounding partner. Most directly comparable peer — independent community pharmacy in the same Washington State region, with shared compounding capabilities and patient referral workflows.
