Blooms The Chemist has added three stores to its network in Sydney’s Crow’s Nest, Gladesville and Penrith.
“We’re delighted to be expanding our Blooms The Chemist network across Sydney with these three new pharmacies and welcome our new pharmacy owners into the business,” Emmanuel Vavoulas, Blooms The Chemist’s CEO, said.
“Each of these new stores will ensure we continue to contribute to the ever-changing healthcare landscape, supporting and enabling our pharmacists to thrive as they serve and improve the health outcomes of their local communities.”
Marking the launches, each pharmacy celebrated with customer activities that included face painting, children’s colouring competitions and bonus rewards program benefits.
Each store also hosted fundraising initiatives for its chosen charity partners, including Make-A-Wish Australia.
“We’re very excited for Blooms The Chemist to be in Crow’s Nest,” Member for Willoughby, Tim James MP said at the opening of the Crow’s Nest pharmacy. “It matters so much to the local community.”
Pathway to ownership
Blooms The Chemist prides itself on providing pharmacists with a pathway to ownership and Eman Khaled, pharmacist-owner at Blooms The Chemist Penrith High Street is a great example of this.
A former team member at Blooms The Chemist Bankstown, Ms Khaled is delighted to achieve her dream of ownership.
“My parents, who migrated to Australia from Lebanon, always motivated me to follow my dreams. Once I started in pharmacy it was clear this was the right career for me, and to achieve my dream of pharmacy ownership at this point in my life is exciting, with everyone at Blooms The Chemist very supportive in helping me fulfil that goal,” she said.
Important step for local community
Blooms The Chemist Gladesville is located in the shopping precinct, the Shopping Village.
Pharmacist owner Abboud Hannaoui says joining Blooms The Chemist is an important step for the local area.
“I have been a Pharmacist in Gladesville for many years and know firsthand the important role we play in our local community, supporting customers from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. In joining Blooms The Chemist, we will further cement our role assisting our customers on a range of health matters, and bring expanded services and greater value into the pharmacy.”
