THE first Discount Drug Stores pharmacy to open under the recently merged Sigma Healthcare and Chemist Warehouse banner officially welcomed customers yesterday at Meadow Heights, Vic.
Under the strengthened leadership of Sigma Healthcare and Chemist Warehouse, this first launch is just the beginning of a broader strategy to expand Discount Drug Stores' footprint across the country, the company said.
The company said the opening marks "a significant milestone in the joint effort to transform access to affordable pharmacy services across Australia".
The Meadow Heights reopening comes with what the company outlined as "a customer-first approach", with promotions "tailored to local needs" alongside digital integration and health-focused resources.
"Leveraging the combined strengths of Sigma's wholesale and distribution capabilities with Chemist Warehouse's retail expertise, we are committed to growing the Discount Drug Stores brand across Australia," said Tony Bassaly, General Manager Franchise Brands.
"Offering more than just low prices, Discount Drug Stores combines an open, easy-to-shop environment in store with patient-centred care to meet the healthcare needs of local communities." KB
