In 1977, Fred Lombardo, father of the current owner Frank Lombardo, bought Evans Drug Store and changed the name to Cook’s Pharmacy. One of only a few independent pharmacies left in Luzerne County, Cook’s is proud of its roots in the Back Mountain Community.

We work hard at being a special kind of pharmacy, from our great customer service to our unique blend of products and our seasonal flower tent. Beyond refilling prescriptions, our pharmacy provides a wide range of over-the-counter products, our own supplement line, gift items, and other wellness products.

So what sets us apart? People not only enjoy shopping here, but they also enjoy working here. Our staff has very low turnover; in fact, most have been here for 5 years or more. This means we provide a high-quality standard of care, and our team is passionate about making sure our customers are treated individually and greeted with a friendly smile. We don’t just know your prescription number — we know you by name!

The current competitive atmosphere is one that we embrace because we know it pushes us to be stronger. This is evident by our recent “Best Pharmacy” and “Best Customer Service” awards from The Dallas Post’s Best of the Back Mountain Awards.
