Sarasota Compounding Pharmacy (SCP) has a storied history rooted in the heart of Sarasota’s community. The journey began in 1968 when Pharmacist Fred Kinnard purchased Carter’s Pharmacy, a well-established pharmacy in downtown Sarasota. In 1974, he rebranded the business as Kinnard’s Pharmacy, operating it with dedication and care for over three decades.
In 2007, the pharmacy was acquired by Pharmacist Gerald “Gerry” Letendre, who served as owner and head pharmacist for 17 years, continuing its tradition of personalized care and exceptional service.
In 2024, the pharmacy entered an exciting new chapter under the ownership of Ramin and Kimberly Faramarzifar. As the current caretakers and operators of SCP, The Faramarzifars are committed to honoring the pharmacy’s legacy while enhancing its services and embracing innovations to better serve the evolving needs of the community.
