"We've got grocery, a full-service bakery, meat counter, deli, a dining counter, a pharmacy, a doctor's office," Michelle Crisp explained, "a full floral — you can't miss it, it's the first thing you see when you walk through the door." Pharmacist Brent Warren will be providing pharmacy services through the Salem Hills Pharmacy. Dr. Aaron Pace will be providing medical services through Pace Clinic. Crisp was not sure of all the medical services the clinic wijl be offering, and recommends interested patrons check with the clinic once the store is operational.
