SHARON — Sharon Pharmacy was opened on July 3, 1961, by Edward and Kathryn Heacox. And on Saturday, July 2, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Heacox family will host a party outside at the Sharon shopping plaza to mark 50 years in business.
Three generations of the Heacox family have been involved in the pharmacy, which is still at the same location after a half century in business. It is now run by four of the founder’s children: Ed Heacox Jr., a pharmacist; Joseph Heacox, the general manager; Chris Heacox the front of house manager; and David Heacox, a pharmacy technician.
