I’d like to move all my business away from Walmart, and their pharmacy is one service we use often.

While I know there are “lesser evils” than Shoppers, they are walking distance away, and that’s important to me.

Can anyone share their experience with Shoppers for their pharmacy, and even better would be from anyone who’s switched from Walmart Pharmacy to Shoppers.

Thanks in advance.

    Continuing your point, for alternatives that are not Loblaws owned, there’s:

    • London Drugs
    • Rexall
    • Pharmasave
    • Guardian/I.D.A./Remedy’sRx
    • Jean-Coutu/Metro/Food Basics Pharmacy (owned by Metro grocery store chain)

    for Canadian owned and operated chains of pharmacies. There are definitely many independent ones under other logos and brands, and some other ones outside the provinces I’m familiar with.

      London Drugs. Is that one of those “if it sounds English or French, it’s probably Canadian”?

          It’s weird, I always avoided the place becuase I figured it was American. And also because it’s so weirdly named. Is there even a pharmacy in that crazy store?

            Yesh I avoided it as well, never really thought of it as a store worth going to. I have never noticed a pharmacy in at least the one I have been in in Saskatoon.
