Origin
Pharma Plus has its origins in the Tamblyn chain of drugs stores which dates back to the early 1900s in Toronto,was owned by Loblaws grocers in the 1970s.Loblaws was unable to compete effectively with market-leader Shoppers Drug Mart, and sold the chain to the Boots Group,of the United Kingdom.Boots,however,was unable to apply its successful British formula to the Canadian market.Boots was unable to comprehend the geographic issues of Canada and the inventory management scheme of the time "one for show and one for go" crippled the stores by limiting the inventory on shelf.


TORONTO -- Katz Group Canada's Pharma Plus Drugmarts division has a new look and a new name.

Katz held a grand opening for a new, fully redesigned flagship store for its Ontario-based Pharma Plus division. Built along the lines of the chain s year-old Rexall drug storeprototype, the store has een re-branded as Rexall Pharma Plus as part of a long-term effort by Katz Group to consolidate its core pharmacy banners under the Rexall logo.

Located at the heavily trafficked corner of Yonge Street and GTA,the store is expected to draw crowds of pedestrians because of its location in one of Toronto's trendiest intown neighborhoods.

Over the past year, Katz Group has converted or built 39 drug stores in line with its new Rexall prototype, which debuted in Edmonton, Alberta, in August 2004. As the first prototype Rexall store opens in downtown Toronto, said Katz Group president Andy Giancamilli, "It becomes our flagship."
