CHEMIST Warehouse has extended its Fast Pharmacy - pharmacy-to-door service - from 10km to 50km in metro and regional areas, Inside Retail has reported.
The retailer has partnered with Rendr, an on-demand delivery solutions company, to optimise its last-mile operations.
The retailer aims to use its stores as micro-fulfilment centres, reducing long-haul shipping issues while providing customers with convenient delivery options.
Customers located up to 50km from the closest store can now get their orders within hours or on the same day.
Chemist Warehouse's director Mario Tascone said, "our focus is on providing our customers around the country with easily accessible and affordable health, beauty and wellness solutions".
Recently Chemist Warehouse also opened its 500th store at Croydon Central, Victoria, (PD 24 Apr).
Co-founders Mario Verrocchi and Jack Gance cut the ribbon in-store to officially kick off the trade.
Already this year the pharmacy chain has launched an Optometrist Warehouse in Malvern, Victoria, (PD 03 May) and a digital health scanner for customers to use on mobile devices.
