About Shoppers Drug Mart
Shoppers Drug Mart was founded in 1962 by Toronto pharmacist, Murray Koffler. He believed that it was possible to build a national organization of pharmacies without sacrificing the personalized service of the local community pharmacist.
The first Shoppers Drug Mart store opened in Toronto, Ontario and was innovative in that it combined mass merchandising and self-service into a retail pharmacy format. Over the past 50 years, the retail format has continued to evolve and the Company’s drug store network has grown through acquisitions and new construction, helping Shoppers Drug Mart become Canada’s leading drug store retailer. Today, there are more than 1,307 Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix stores across the country.
