Operations

edit

The company has over 67 locations operating throughout Atlantic Canada, in the provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. In many Atlantic Canada communities, the company is the only drug store. In others, it competes with Shoppers Drug Mart or I.D.A. pharmacies. Its parent company Sobeys has no plans to expand outside Atlantic Canada.[citation needed]

The word "Drugs" was dropped from the name when a new logo was introduced in 2004.[citation needed]
