Shoppers Drug Mart is a Canadian retail pharmacy chain founded in 1962 by pharmacist Murray Koffler. The company operates a national network of pharmacist-owned locations offering prescription services, over-the-counter medications, health and beauty products, and general household items. Its business model combines independent pharmacy ownership with centralized support. Shoppers Drug Mart has undergone acquisitions and structural changes over its history, including its 2014 acquisition by Loblaw Companies Limited, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. The organization has introduced private-label brands and expanded into specialized health services, including long-term care pharmacy operations and specialty drug distribution. The company's service offerings also include programs related to medication management and wellness. Shoppers Drug Mart continues to operate retail formats under its own name and affiliated banners across Canada.
