Rexall is bringing its new store format to communities across Ontario and is celebrating the grand opening of one new store and three store expansions this weekend.

Rexall’s newest store officially opened its doors at the busy intersection of Queen Street and University Avenue in downtown Toronto. Current stores in Hamilton, Gloucester and Dunville have been expanded and now feature Rexall’s new brand, new look and feel, making them the complete healthy daily living destination for residents in those communities.

“Pharmacies are the face of neighbourhood health care that can provide quick and convenient access to services and care for patients. That’s why we are committed to providing patients with a more complete and personalized health experience,” said Frank Scorpiniti, Chief Executive Officer of Rexall. “Consumers also want more options for healthier choices, products that help make them feel good, and they want better value for their dollar. Our stores, whether it’s a new store, expansion or renovation, are now equipped to deliver exactly that.”

The new store format offers a range of healthy products including naturopathic and homeopathic selections, as well as Rexall’s private brand Be.better. Be.better.; has 170 items that were carefully selected and designed to help Canadians live, feel and be better. The extensive line includes healthier snack options, environmentally-friendly cleaning products, gluten-free vitamins, vegetarian probiotics and even salon-quality hair and skin care products with natural oils such as Oblipicha, Argan Oil or Macadamia Nut.
