Marty graduated from Albany College of Pharmacy in 1979 and began his career at Fay’s Drug, where he quickly rose to become a territory leader for the Northeast division. This role allowed him to cultivate lasting relationships within the industry—connections that would continue to shape his professional journey.
Following a series of acquisitions and pharmacy mergers, Marty continued his career with Eckerd Drugs and later with Rite Aid. While owning his own pharmacy had always been a lifelong dream, raising his three children—Quinn, Hannah, and Taylor—was his top priority. In 2011, he made the pivotal decision to leave his position at Rite Aid in his hometown of Greenville, NY, to finally pursue that dream. Together with his wife, Diane, and son, Quinn, Marty founded Kelly’s Pharmacy Inc.
In 2014, Marty further expanded the business by opening a second Kelly’s Pharmacy location in West Coxsackie, NY. With roughly 50 years of experience in the retail pharmacy industry, Marty remains passionate about his work and believes this is one of the most exciting eras for the field.
An early adopter of emerging technologies, Marty champions the use of robotics and other innovative tools to drive Kelly’s Pharmacy Inc. forward. He believes these advancements are essential for continued growth and adaptability in an ever-evolving retail pharmacy landscape.
What has made Marty so impactful throughout his career is his unwavering patient-first approach. His commitment to community extends beyond the pharmacy as well—he founded the Greenville youth wrestling program, which eventually grew into the Greenville Varsity Wrestling team.
As Marty begins to step back from day-to-day operations, with his son Quinn and daughter-in-law Rebecca taking on greater leadership roles, he is embracing his favorite role yet: being a proud grandfather to his two beautiful grandchildren.
