Pharmacist and owner Chad Patel is eager to serve the healthcare needs of his community.
After a brief break, the Value Drug Mart brand is back in Rimbey!
The previous Rimbey Value Drug Mart changed its branding affiliation in 2021, which meant customers loyal to the Value Drug Mart flyer and exclusive products no longer had a place to shop in Rimbey. But in the summer of 2022 the brand has come back, proudly owned by pharmacist Chad Patel.
“I am proud to bring Value Drug Mart back to Rimbey,” Patel says. “I live in the area and really love the local community. My family and I have made this home and I am very committed to the health and well-being of residents in the Rimbey area.”
The previous Value Drug Mart was purchased by Toronto-based Neighbourly Pharmacy, and now operates as a corporate location in Rimbey. Value Drug Mart is owned by Edmonton-based Pharmacy Brands Canada. It exclusively operates in Western Canada and provides a wide range of support and programs to its 150 locations. Each store has a local owner, too — Patel isn’t just a store manager who must answer to a head office far away.
“We are thrilled to be back in Rimbey. Value Drug Mart has been in this market for decades, and we are excited to bring this iconic brand back to the community with our new owner Chad Patel,” says Value Drug Mart President & CEO Jon Johnson.
Rimbey Value Drug Mart: All your family needs
“We are looking forward to the community supporting Chad in his new venture and buying local,” Johnson says. “He lives in the community, understands the needs, and is motivated to provide exceptional healthcare. He also has his advanced prescribing authority which allows him to prescribe the majority of pharmaceuticals that would typically be prescribed by a medical doctor.”
Rimbey Value Drug Mart offers many healthcare services:
- Prescribing pharmacist
- Flu shots
- COVID vaccinations
- A wide range of over-the-counter medications
- Seasonal and confectionary items
- Open 7 days a week
