Your good neighbour since 1904

Caring About Canadians For Over 100 Years

Many believe the Rexall name was derived from the words "Rx to all" or "pharmacy care to all" and since Rexall Drug Stores were found in most communities across Canada, these words held true. Today, the Rexall sign continues to be a symbol of the trusted and personalized care of the Rexall family pharmacists.

It started in 1904 with Louis K. Liggett. He founded the United Drug Company in order to supply retail druggists with affordable, high-quality products. Sound familiar? It should. Eventually these products became known as Rexall Brand products.

Today, all pharmacies in the Rexall family – Rexall, Rexall Pharma Plus, The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, Guardian and I.D.A. – carry a full range of Rexall Brand products. Everything from over-the-counter medications to vitamins, and sunscreens to home health care products are available at affordable prices. We believe this is what being a good neighbour is all about.

In 2004 we opened our very first prototype Rexall pharmacy in Edmonton, Alberta. Designed with the end goal of creating both a convenient shopping and best possible pharmacy care, our prototype stores feature state-of-the art pharmacy technology, private pharmacy consultation rooms, a modern design and layout, a large cosmetics section (some with skin care dermatological centres), as well as diversified and high demand products including an extensive selection of convenience items. And at select locations our prototype stores also feature Drive-Thru pharmacies.
