September 2024 Business Spotlight - Santaquin Pharmacy and Firearms
Kevin Scott Marchant, along with his wife Robyn, is the owner of Santaquin Pharmacy and Firearms. It’s been a dream of his since he was young to own his own business. Kevin knew he wanted to be a pharmacist since junior high. He wanted to be a pharmacist or be a cop when he grew up. So he has combined his two loves—drugs and guns! Kevin grew up in Beaver, UT with parents who were school teachers and farmers. He learned how to work hard from a young age and helped in his family’s slaughterhouse every morning at 4:30am before school.
Kevin did his undergrad studies at Dixie College, Snow College, and Southern Utah University in Biology and Spanish, and then went on to Touro University in California for pharmacy school. He has his Doctorate of Pharmacy. He served a full-time mission for his church from 2001-2003 in the Atlanta, Georgia Spanish speaking mission. Kevin uses his Spanish skills almost daily at work at the pharmacy, translating and helping the Hispanic members of our community.
Kevin enjoys patient interaction with members of our community, and helping others when they are in need. He’s a problem solver and won’t quit until he finds a solution that will help his patients. Kevin is a caring boss and has created a fun work atmosphere and fosters great relationships with his employees. You’ll usually find Kevin joking around with his employees and patients alike. He likes to make work fun whenever possible.
Kevin has been advocating for independent pharmacies over the past 6 years and lobbying for change in legislation to protect and improve independent pharmacies. He’s spent countless hours at Capitol Hill, meeting with senators and representatives, and even traveled to Washington D.C. this year to help facilitate change in policy. Kevin is passionate about pharmacy and hopes to see things change to protect the small business side of this industry.
Kevin and Robyn have enjoyed living in Santaquin for the past 10 years with their 4 children and are proud to be members of this special community. They feel it is a great place to live and raise their family, and Kevin loves giving back and being a part of this unique place.
