Continued Growth
During the past two years, Rexall has continued to embark on store transformation efforts and expanded its footprint in a number of locations in Canada. In November 2013, the company celebrated the grand opening of a new store in London, Ontario.
The two-level store is located in London’s downtown area. At 11,000 square feet, it offers an array of healthy product options and a cosmetic department with a cosmetician, making it a complete healthy daily living destination for London and the surrounding community. It is also stocked with the Be.better Rexall private label brand of more than 170 items, including healthier snack options, environmentally friendly cleaning products, gluten-free vitamins, vegetarian probiotics and salon-quality haircare products.
Rexall followed that up by bringing its convenient, accessible and healthy alternatives to St. Albert, Alberta. In February 2014, the company held the grand opening of the new 11,500-square-foot Rexall drugstore in St. Albert. It is the first Rexall in St. Albert, providing customers and patients with everything from nutrition consultation and vitamin therapy to free prescription delivery and a cosmetics department.
Subsequently, the company opened more locations in March 2014. The first was located in Edmonton at Northgate Centre. It, too, offers a wide range of options for customers and patients, including a full-service pharmacy, nutrition consultation, vitamin therapy, free prescription delivery, a refrigerated grocery section and a cosmetic department. It stands at 11,200 square feet and offers a range of healthy products, including naturopathic and homeopathic selections alongside Rexall’s Be.better brand.
After that, the company celebrated the grand opening of one new store and three store expansions in Ontario. The company opened the store at Queen Street and University Avenue in downtown Toronto. In addition, it expanded stores in Hamilton, Gloucester and Dunville to feature Rexall’s new brand, look and feel.
Ultimately, Rexall has succeeded and thrived across Canada because the company understands that pharmacies are a critical part of neighborhood healthcare. It works to provide quick and convenient access to services and care for patients. The company says it stands committed to providing patients with complete and personalized health experiences, options for healthier choices and value for their dollar. This commitment should help Rexall continue to serve Canadians for another century or even more.
