Since April 1980 — when the after-hours line rang straight to the founder's house — Peoples has been Austin's independent answer to cookie-cutter pharmacy.
Peoples opens with two locations in central and south Austin. Grassroots from day one: after-hours calls went to the founder's home phone.
Compounding services launch — alongside, in true 80s fashion, VHS rentals, a photo lab, and frozen yogurt.
We make national news by burning our cigarette inventory in the Westlake parking lot on National Smokeout Day, and never sell them again.
Peoples hosts the first Barton Creek farmers market, championing local growers and grass-fed beef long before it was cool.
The "Let's Get Healthy" radio show launches — over 1,000 episodes of free community wellness advice.
ACL Music Fest brings Peoples on board for festival essentials — and our booths earn a nickname Austin still uses: the ACL Bodegas.
All compounding consolidates into a state-of-the-art south Austin lab built for the next forty years.
Peoples and Victory Medical team up — two Austin independents joining forces so patients get pharmacy, compounding, and medical care that actually talk to each other.
Four stores, one standard: pharmacy, compounding, practitioners on the floor, honest food, and a community that keeps showing up. Thanks, Austin.
Advice from people who know you — not a call center, not an algorithm.
Pharmacists and practitioners working from the same record, on the same floor.
Conventional and holistic paths offered side by side, so you can choose well.
So are the 150+ specialists behind our counters. If that sounds like your kind of work, come join the team that's been keepin' Austin well since 1980.
