Lock's Pharmacy Competitors

Built on a foundation of professional expertise and personal service, Shoppers Drug Mart has been meeting Canadians' health care needs for 50 years. What was once a small pharmacy in Toronto has grown into an organization of over 1,200 stores from coast to coast, becoming an indelible part of the lives of Canadians, young and old. Yet despite our growth, we have never forgotten our origins. We have always remained true to our belief that the personal satisfaction of each and every customer is at the root of our success - and it can only be ensured by the commitment of people who realize that success is built one customer at a time.

Costco Wholesale is a multi-billion dollar global retailer with warehouse club operations in eight countries. We are the recognized leader in our field, dedicated to quality in every area of our business and respected for our outstanding business ethics. Despite our large size and explosive international expansion, we continue to provide a family atmosphere in which our employees thrive and succeed. Costco’s commitment to quality and value in the merchandise we offer our members is not only the cornerstone of our business; it’s also one of the foundations of our Code of Ethics. The first Canadian Costco Wholesale warehouse opened in 1985 in Burnaby, BC. During the first 8 years of operations in Canada, customers (called members) needed to be business owners or work for the government to be eligible for membership. In 1993, Costco changed these requirements and opened membership to businesses and the general public.

Since 2002, the Rexall Foundation has been helping build strong and vibrant communities by supporting numerous charitable organizations. Over the past 17 years, the Foundation has contributed over $15 million dollars towards local communities through children’s and seniors’ programs and services across Canada. In late 2018, we undertook a review of our Foundation commitments with a goal of bringing more focus to our giving platform and maximizing our social impact. During our reassessment, we endeavoured to identify the cause and platform that speaks to Rexall as an organization and reflects what is important to our employees and our customers – a cause that advances the mission of the organization, aligns with business purpose and speaks to contemporary issues faced by Canadians. Family Caregiving is this cause.
