Joe Sullivan and the staff at Sullivan Pharmacy are here to serve YOU

About Us

Sullivan Pharmacy was established in 1988 – a dream come true for Joe Sullivan. One day while traveling to San Jacinto Junior College, where he studied pre-pharmacy, he said to himself, “I am going to have a pharmacy here on Grand Avenue one day.” He graduated from pharmacy school in 1972 and sixteen years later his dream was fulfilled.

Sullivan Pharmacy began in what sued to be a small two-bedroom home at the corner of Grand Avenue and 20th street. A fruit stand was the only business at the time. Today there is a McDonalds, Valero and Jack-in-the-Box. Grand avenue expanded from two lanes to four lanes. The pharmacy kept expanding to meet the needs of its patrons. By 2003, the pharmacy had doubled its original size. That same year, Joe enhanced the services offered when he became a certified immunizer. He could then offer various vaccines including influenza, pneumonia, shingles, and Tdap.

Although, the pharmacy has physically changed in the past 30 years, the philosophy and goals of its staff have remained the same strong, which is to take care if its patrons. We appreciate your business and we welcome newcomers from Bacliff and surrounding areas. When you visit Sullivan Pharmacy do not forget to ask about our local prescription delivery, 24 hours emergency service, and free gift wrapping.
