DDS targets 160
March 16, 2016
DISCOUNT Drug Stores is aiming
to reach a total of 160 stores by the
end of 2016 as the brand celebrates
its 15th anniversary this year.
The model is working well,
according to DDS National
Manager of Strategic Business,
Adam Goss, who said like-for-like
retail sales grew 19.2% in 2015,
five percentage points above the
market average.
“The industry is continually
adapting and changing to meet the
demands of the consumer, meaning
innovation within the pharmacy
business model is essential to
success and sustained future
growth,” he said.
DDS executive general
manager Doug Kuskopf-Dallas
also highlighted a “host of
strategic business and marketing
developments” under way, such as
a new customer loyalty scheme,
a trial program to link pharmacies
and GPs in rural and remote areas
and work to improve dispensary
workflow, with the aim of attracting
franchise partners to the brand.
