Products

We are a full service, independent, locally owned pharmacy. We honor most insurances. We stock a little bit of everything - health & beauty aids, first aid, vitamins, school and office supplies, greeting cards, foot care, eye care, hair care, candy bars, ice cream novelties and soda pop. We sell Madison Metro transit bus passes and postage stamps.

Although we are not a post office, we will send packages for people using UPS.

You can also send and receive FAX's from our east side location - FAX: 608.255.9969. We are open M-F 8:30 AM - 6 PM, Sat. 9 AM - 1PM and closed Sunday.

Philosophy

We strive to carry products and buy our supplies at local or Wisconsin vendors. To this end, we sell No-Crack hand creams and lotions (LaCrosse), Florajen probiotics (Baraboo) and Chase greeting cards (Hartford). We order many of our prescription and over-the-counter medications from the Independent Pharmacy Coop (IPC), started in Madison and now based in Sun Prairie. Most of our equipment and supplies come from our local hardware store and office supply warehouse.

History

Shafer Pharmacy is on the site of the oldest, continuously operating pharmacy in the city of Madison. The building was built in 1915 and it has been a pharmacy ever since that date. Everett "Bud" Shafer was a partner of Joe LaCrosse (LaCrosse Pharmacy) in the mid-1950s and bought the business outright in 1959 when the name became Shafer Pharmacy. The present owner, Larry Nowicki, has owned the pharmacy since 1986.
