Company

With a heritage dating back more than 100 years, Rexall has evolved to become one of Canada’s most trusted pharmacy brands.

Our history of helping Canadians has endured since the turn of the last century, through successive evolutions of Rexall and Rexall Pharma Plus from apothecary-type drugstores to the modern community pharmacies they are today. Rexall in Canada was established in 1904 in the early days of the United Drug Company and quickly established itself as an innovator in retail pharmacy. At the same time, Tamblyn Drugs was establishing itself in Toronto, Ontario, and would eventually become Pharma Plus.

A lot may have changed over the years, but our commitment to helping Canadian families and communities be healthier has never been stronger; it continues to guide us as we look to the future and increase access to convenient, quality healthcare and products that Canadians can feel good about.

Today, our 448 Rexall and Rexall Pharma Plus locations are supported by 8,000 staff, all dedicated to providing exceptional service and care in 180 communities across Canada. Whether it’s providing flu shots at any time* or other services within the expanding scopes of pharmacy care, offering exclusive daily living products that can help put you on a healthy path, transforming our store environments, or making sure your medications are working safely for you, Rexall is focused on continuing to evolve to meet the changing needs of our patients and customers.

Rexall also operates Rexall Direct, Canada’s national mail-order pharmacy and Rexall Health Solutions, a division focused on providing highly specialized clinical care and complex medication management services in transitional care settings.

Rexall is a member of the Rexall Pharmacy Group Ltd., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation.
