About Us

For more than 70 years, Kemper Drug & Gifts has been a household name in Elk River and has been a stable and supportive fixture in our beautiful and historic downtown.

Located at the bustling corner of Highway 10 and Jackson Avenue, in a building largely unchanged from when your grandparents shopped, Kemper has been owned by local, community-minded individuals who support the local arts, youth sports, community events, and Minnesota-based businesses.

In a world where the hometown pharmacy is competing against the massive nationwide corporate pharmacies, Kemper Drug & Gifts maintains their customer-first centric values. Voted the Star News’ best pharmacy for seven consecutive years, Kemper’s knowledgeable and caring staff support their customers in every possible way. From managing medications, searching for ways to make them more affordable, and recommending over-the-counter medications and supplements, Kemper has never wavered from putting the customer’s needs first.

The gift shop inside Kemper Drug & Gifts is without question, one of the best and most unique places in the area to score that perfect gift. Whether you’re searching for a gift for a new baby, birthday, graduation, wedding, best friend, the cabin, Uncle Bill or anyone in between, you’ll undoubtedly find it at Kemper. You’ll find books by local authors, crafts from local artisans, and a large array of Minnesota-made items and apparel.

Kemper Drug and Gifts is a proud community partner and continues to be locally-owned and locally-loved. Stop in and see for yourself what the buzz is all about!
