Jack’s Discount Pharmacy opened in West Blocton, Alabama in 1988. In 2012, the pharmacy was purchased by Neil Hitchcock. Neil and the Jack’s Discount Pharmacy team invite you to stop in any time and experience the independent pharmacy difference!
Neil Hitchcock, Pharmacist and Owner
A 1998 graduate of Samford’s McWhorter School of Pharmacy, Neil has worked in a variety of pharmacy roles and for a number of well-known companies throughout his career. These include pharmaceutical sales, cancer and Alzheimer’s clinical research, long-term care pharmacy and pharmacy manager for such companies as Johnson & Johnson, United Healthcare, and CVS/Caremark. Although enjoying working for these larger companies, Neil longed to have more of a direct impact in people’s lives. Purchasing Jack’s Discount Pharmacy in 2012 and returning to Alabama has given Neil that balance of being able to serve in a community, help others directly, and use his wide range of real world knowledge as pharmacist and owner. When not working, Neil enjoys spending time with his wife and son.
