Flat Rock Our Hometown February 2020 featured business

February 11, 2020 By Joe Pagano

Rite Aid – Flat Rock, Mi.

Flat Rock Rite Aid is this months Featured Business

Our local Rite Aid opened in Flat Rock in 1999. That year, they purchased the corner lot of Telegraph and Gibraltar, where the Historic Smith Hotel was located. As part of the agreement in purchasing the land, Rite Aid moved the Historic Smith Hotel to The Historic Park in Flat Rock, which is now the primary museum for the Flat Rock Historical Society. Rite Aid aided in the transition of this historical building to show their commitment to Flat Rock. Now 21 years later, they are still a strong part of our community.

When meeting with their manager, Corin, and one of the employee’s, Lara, they both expressed that this Flat Rock store is been their favorite Rite Aid store to work for. They both spoke to how the friendliest, patient, and most understanding people live in Flat Rock. They expressed such love for the customers here. It shows; the store has won honor for raising more donations for the Children’s Miracle Network the last 5 years in their district. Customers donate book and movies to Children’s Miracle Network beginning in March and the program lasts for six weeks.

Rite Aid offers all your pharmaceutical needs, along with everything a drug store offers, including dry good, beverages, and seasonal items. One thing Rite Aid offers that isn’t always known is Flu Shots and Pneumonia shots. Rite Aid also offers necessary services, that may not be the most desirable thing to think about when it comes to drug use, by supplying Narcan (lifesaving overdose medicine) to those in need with no questions asked, providing lifesaving care to our community.

Rite Aid has been long standing business in Flat Rock that offers everything a community need or wants. We are happy to feature them. If you haven’t been in, please stop by. The employees are the most helpful and they have almost everything you could want.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
