Shizu Okusa started D.C. juice company Jrink five years ago. Now she’s adding “the pharmacy of the future” to her wellness company’s umbrella.
Apothekary, the second brand under parent Wellthy & Co., is a one-stop shop for herbal supplements, spices and teas to replace quick-fix pharmaceuticals (i.e. sleep aids as opposed to prescribed medication). Now Okusa is raising money, breaking into brick-and-mortar and launching sales nationally online.
