FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Independent Pharmacy in Canada gains strength:
Axis Pharmacy Stores convert to Remedy’sRx® banner
Toronto, Ontario, January 26, 2009 -- Remedy’sRx, the fastest-growing
Independent Pharmacy network in Canada, grew by 30 stores, which previously
operated under the Axis Pharmacy banner. This growth will help to create a
brighter future for Independent Pharmacy.
“It was a perfect meeting of the minds and value systems,” says Bruce Moody,
Remedy’sRx Founder and CEO. “The existing Axis board chose to recommend
Remedy as the banner of choice because we both share a mutual dedication to
the future of Independent Pharmacy in Canada.”
Both organizations share similar beliefs about the importance of Independent
Pharmacy in the delivery of healthcare and are dedicated to contributing to their
local communities. Both Remedy’sRx and Axis pharmacist/owners are viewed as
knowledgeable, trusted sources of healthcare information and advice. They are
actively involved in maintaining the health of their patients in their communities.
Axis Pharmacy Inc., which has been in business for 6 years, prides itself on its
commitment to consistently high standards of professional, ethical, business, and
operational practices. The stellar reputation of Axis for personal attention,
exceptional customer service and corporate social responsibility will remain the
same.
Zahir Bhanji, President of Axis Pharmacy Inc., says the alliance could not have
come at a better time. “The strategic alliance of our independent pharmacy
networks will enable our stores to achieve operational, financial and
management synergies in these challenging times, and this will ensure our
consistent success and growth well into the future. I can think of no better partner
than Remedy’s to fulfill these goals.”
Remedy’sRx is an industry leader and innovator that is working hard to ensure
the future success of Independent Pharmacy in Canada. Among its unique
offerings for independent owners, Remedy’s offers a best-in-class Signature
program, innovative profit-sharing, financial management, marketing, operational
