INDEPENDENT Pharmacies Australia (IPA) has officially launched its first branded pharmacy, Broadbeach Day & Night Chemist, during APP2025, marking a major milestone in the evolution of independent community pharmacies.
Located across the road from the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, and timed to coincide with APP2025, the unveiling showcases IPA's commitment to strengthening independent pharmacies while providing them with national marketing power, operational efficiencies and sustainable growth opportunities.
The new IPA-branded pharmacy model empowers members to maintain their independence while benefiting from a nationwide consumer-facing brand, the network stated.
This includes a comprehensive store refresh, innovative technology integration, tailored category management and extensive marketing support.
"We are extremely proud to reveal our first-ever IPA branded pharmacy in partnership with Julia Clare, owner of Broadbeach Day & Night Chemist," said IPA MD Steven Kastrinakis.
"This pharmacy demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative, future-ready solutions for the 1,100 pharmacies in our network."
