CHEMIST Warehouse Group marked a significant and sentimental milestone yesterday, with Reservoir My Chemist becoming the final store in a network of more than 20 locations to complete the transition to Amcal .
Earlier this year, Sigma secured the commitment of My Chemist stores franchisees to convert to Amcal pharmacies, a process that started with the Chadstone store in March (PD 31 Mar).
The refreshed Amcal Reservoir store now features expanded professional services including medication reviews, health checks and personalised care plans, alongside wellness and beauty offerings.
With the addition of Ultra Beauty, Amcal Reservoir enhances its premium in-store experience through a dedicated "store-within-a-store" concept, featuring a luxury fragrances, makeup, and skincare and haircare products.
The transformation also marked a return to the same suburb where the Chemist Warehouse story began in 1972, when founders Jack and Sam Gance purchased their very first pharmacy in Reservoir, later expanding with a second store a few streets away.
"Completing the Amcal transformation from My Chemist in Reservoir is a truly special moment for us," said Tony Bassaly, Amcal General Manager Franchise Brands.
"We are proud to bring this next chapter of Amcal back to the community that has been part of our story from the very beginning," Bassaly said.
