Today, Paul Chidley, Divisional Vice-President of Rexall, was joined by Tony Caterina, Councillor for the City of Edmonton, and Janice Sarich, MLA for Edmonton-Decore, as well as employees and members of the community, to celebrate the grand opening of Rexall’s newest drugstore at Northgate Centre.
Customers and patients can look forward to a range of services, including a full service pharmacy, nutrition consultation, vitamin therapy, free prescription delivery, a refrigerated grocery section, as well as a cosmetic department; making it a complete healthy daily living destination.
“Pharmacies are the face of neighbourhood health care that can provide quick and convenient access to services and care for patients. That’s why we are committed to providing patients with a more complete and personalized health experience,” said Frank Scorpiniti, Chief Executive Officer of Rexall. “Consumers also want more options for healthier choices, products that help make them feel good, and they want better value for their dollar. Our new store at Northgate, and all of our stores, will deliver exactly that.”
At 11,200 square feet the store offers a range of healthy products including naturopathic and homeopathic selections, as well as Rexall’s private brand Be.better. Be.better.; has 170 items that were carefully selected and designed to help Canadians live, feel and be better. The extensive line includes healthier snack options, environmentally-friendly cleaning products, gluten-free vitamins, vegetarian probiotics and even salon-quality hair and skin care products with natural oils such as Oblipicha, Argan Oil or Macadamia Nut.
“We’re very excited to be opening this, our twenty-fourth store in the city of Edmonton,” said Paul Chidley, Divisional Vice President, Rexall. “Our newest store demonstrates our continued commitment to the health of the families in this area and the surrounding communities.”
Also in attendance were organizers from Kids Kottage, a crisis nursery centre that provides a safe, nurturing home away from home for infants and children up to eleven years of age, free of charge, during a time of family crisis. Kids Kottage received a $10,000 donation from the Rexall Foundation which will be used to fund much needed equipment and programming.
