About Us

Our History

Len's Drug has been helping customers in John Day and Grant County since 1967. The original store dates back to the late 1800's as City Drug, which we still maintain in our corporate name, Nelson's City Drug. In 2006 Len’s Drug and John Day Pharmacy merged into one location at 120 E. Main. Wally Muzzy still works one day a week and enjoys spending time with his grandchildren.. We’re proud to be known as the health information center in our community. You’ll find every member of our staff to be knowledgeable and accessible. While our commitment to personal service is still the most important aspect of our business, we are constantly expanding to include many patient care services. Just ask us what we can do.
