Peoples Rx was established in 1980 in Austin, Texas, by founder Bill Swail, who envisioned a pharmacy rooted in personalized service and exceptional customer care. From the outset, the Austin community embraced this vision. Within a few years, Bill expanded the company to multiple locations. Drawing on years of research into alternative healing methods, he gradually transformed Peoples Rx into an integrative, holistic pharmacy.
The Wellness Department at Peoples Rx is recognized as one of the most knowledgeable and experienced in the nation. Every day, we assist customers with personalized health concerns, empowering them through education to take a proactive role in their wellness. Our approach is holistic, aiming to uncover and address underlying issues across all areas of a patient’s life—offering guidance that enhances and complements traditional medicine.
The Peoples Rx Deli further supports our holistic mission by offering a variety of nourishing meals made from the highest quality ingredients. We believe in the power of food as a tool for healing and transformation, prioritizing local and organic produce, grass-finished and free-range meats, pasture-raised poultry, soy-free eggs, and gluten-free options whenever available.
With the addition of Wellness and the Deli, Bill created a comprehensive, holistic experience—all while staying true to the company’s founding principle: exceptional customer service in every aspect of our work. We’re proud to have made a lasting impact on the Austin community. From patients to physicians and healthcare providers, Peoples Rx is a trusted first stop for health and wellness. This is what sets us apart. This is why we’re Austin’s favorite pharmacy.
