WIZARD Pharmacy is expanding its presence in Western Australia, with three former Friendlies Pharmacies set to join the franchise over the coming months.
The three pharmacies located in Banksia Grove, Enex 100 and Brookfield Place, extending the group's footprint in Perth's northern suburbs, and giving it a presence in the CBD.
New franchisee, Andrew Stent, said the group's customer-centric focus and retail support were key factors in his decision to join Wizard, which also includes Pharmacy Guild of Australia 2020 Pharmacy of the Year finalist, Kalgoorlie Central.
"It was clear from early on that Wizard's vision and values align with my own and their focus was on the needs of the customer," he said.
"The sophistication of Wizard's Support Office was the biggest surprise.
"Their investment around IT and data analytics positions Wizard as a market leader in the retail environment.
"This support around the retail components of my pharmacy allows my team of pharmacists to focus on being the best pharmacists they can be.
"I'm really excited about what lies ahead with Wizard. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the reactions from our loyal customers as we take them on this new journey."
