NEW MANOR PHARMACY OPENS

                         

  The former Siegel Building and the hamlet of Livingston Manor once again has it's own pharmacy.

  The dedication and opening ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the new Manor Pharmacy took place last Thursday afternoon with owners Sonal Trivedi and Chitra Chauhan welcoming a nice crowd of folks who all expressed how pleased they were to again have a pharmacy in town. 

  Sonal Trivedi also owns and operates the Sullivan Pharmacy in Liberty and the Jeff Pharmacy in Jeffersonville. Chitra Chauhan owns and operates the Newburgh Pharmacy in Newburgh.

  Livingston Manor has been without a pharmacy since the former Medicap Pharmacy  located at the same 43A Main Street location, closed in November of 2011.

  The two Pharmacists that will be working the new pharmacy are Dave Zable and Harold R. Bruce.

  Former Town of Rockland supervisor and owner-operator for many years of the Siegel Department Store, Lee Siegel, acted as master-of-ceremonies and performed the official ribbon cutting.

  Siegel also read an official proclamation from Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther.

  Following the ribbon cutting refreshments were provided by Cafe 43 which occupies the other half of the Siegel Building. 

  The historical Siegel Building  was built in 1890 and originally housed Alonzo Ostrum's blacksmith shop. In 1908-09 Lee Siegel's father, Solomon along with his two brothers, Ben and Joe, opened a retail store  and in 1946 Lee took over the building and opened the Siegel Department Store, a  mainstay on Manor's Main Street for many years. 

  The Manor Pharmacy will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. They will be closed on Sunday's.

  Manor Pharmacy phone number is 845-439-1188.
