Shoppers Drug Mart (TSX SC) added Mar 30, 2010 ********************* The Company was founded in 1962 by Toronto pharmacist Murray Koffler, who believed that it was possible to build a national organization of pharmacies without sacrificing the personalized service of the local community pharmacist. This vision is the cornerstone of the Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix Associate Concept and has helped build a brand that is synonymous with exceptional service, value and trust. Today, there are more than 1,219 Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix retail drug stores owned and operated by the Company’s licensed Associates, incorporating a strong sense of pride, professionalism and community spirit at each location. With fiscal 2009 sales of $10.0 billion, the Company is the leading player in Canada’s retail drugstore marketplace and is the number one provider of pharmacy products and services. The Company’s licensed stores are located in prime locations in each province and two territories, making Shoppers stores among the most convenient retail outlets in Canada. The Company also owns and operates 66 Shoppers Home Health Care® stores, making it the largest Canadian retailer of home health care products and services. In addition to its retail store network, the Company owns Shoppers Drug Mart Specialty Health Network Inc., a provider of specialty drug distribution, pharmacy and comprehensive patient support services, and MediSystem Technologies Inc., a provider of pharmaceutical products and services to long-term care facilities in Ontario and Alberta.
