Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for the past 25 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships, working for The Royal Obsession and Anatomie clothing. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as Parents & Kids Magazine and Girl Meets Strong. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
Not all hidden gems are tucked away in remote locales or unassuming buildings. In fact, you’ll find one of the state’s sweetest surprises inside Waveland Pharmacy. The family-owned drug store and pharmacy is most known by locals for its friendly service. But that’s not all. Anyone who lives in the area knows Waveland Pharmacy is home to an old-fashioned soda fountain that doles out some decadently sweet treats. Take a look:
A true neighborhood pharmacy, Waveland Pharmacy is like those of yesteryear, where visitors are greeted by name and treated to true hospitality.
Serving the community for nearly two decades, Waveland Pharmacy opened back in 2002. After all these years, it’s become a Waveland staple that’s loved by locals – as well as the out-of-towners lucky enough to stumble upon it.
Step inside, and you’ll find another similarity between Waveland Pharmacy and its vintage counterparts – shelves stocked with healthcare and drug store items.
