Jarrod Tippins Named As The 2023 Small Business Person Of The Year

Jarrod Tippins, founder of The Pharmacy on Hoffmeyer Road, was named the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce Small Business Person of the Year on Wednesday, March 22nd.

The president and CEO of Dedicated Community Bank, Jim Ivey, announced the award at the Chamber of Commerce Outlook Luncheon, which took place at the Florence Center. He said the Lake City native not only operates an essential business, one that became even more important and busy during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also supports the community in a number of ways.

“He’s done a lot with that business, The Pharmacy, that he started, and is just an overall superb community supporter in all kinds of corners,” said Michael Miller, president of the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce. “Whether it’s education or anything else, somehow, some way he is involved in it.”

According to Ivey’s introduction, Tippins serves on a number of boards throughout the county, such as the McLeod Health Foundation Board of Trustees, the Florence County Disabilities Foundation Board of Directors and the Lake City Community Theater Board of Directors, among others.
