Town Centre Pharmacy

Attention: The COVID rapid tests available at this location were thru a federal government program for small/medium sized businesses for on-site testing of their employees. They are not intended for take-home, private or personal use.

At the moment they are on back order and I have no idea when more will be arriving.

For more information regarding the program please go to : https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/testing-screening-contact-tracing/rapid-tests-employees.html

Due to the overwhelming volume of calls and private messages I apologize in advance if I cannot respond.

The Government of Canada and some provincial/territorial governments are providing free rapid COVID-19 tests to organizations for screening close-contact employees.

Some people have commented that they noticed that my store signage has changed. Before the pandemic hit I made the decision to become fully independent as a pharmacy business and operate solely as Town Centre Pharmacy. There have been a lot of challenges these past two years for everyone, and I am happy that I am able to continue to service the community.

I want to thank all of those people who have continued to support my business. I look forward to continuing to serve you. I would also appreciate any referrals from friends and family regardless where they reside in Metro Vancouver.

Hi Everyone....

I wanted to share a new way to get your prescriptions done in a more convenient way. I have had quite a few people use this method and they love how easy it is.

SAVE TIME by using your smartphone.

Download the Remedy'sRx app on your Smart Phone and refill prescriptions on the go!

Take a photo of your prescriptions to send it directly to our pharmacy through the App. We'll start work on your prescription from the moment you get it from your doctor and we'll have it bagged and ready for pickup by the time you arrive.

Set up push notifications on your Smart Phone to remind you to refill your prescriptions and save time.

You can also schedule complimentary home delivery for your convenience.

Warmest Regards,
Dennis

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've finally opened my new pharmacy! We are now... Town Centre Pharmacy - Remedy's Rx.

It has been 3 months since closing the old Target Pharmacy and now we are back in business. It has been tough but I'm so happy to finally be up and running.

We are now located in the same building as NCIX and Kin's Farm Market just outside the H&M mall exit .. literally a 2 minute walk from the old Target.

I have retained all the old confidential pharmacy records and they are all with me here at Town Centre Pharmacy.

If anyone needs anything, or can refer friends and family to the new pharmacy I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to earn their business.

Please 'share' and 'like' my page and if you have a chance come by Town Centre Pharmacy and say hello.

Thank you to the team at Ridgeway Pharmacy for welcoming me to their pharmacy during the construction. Their support allowed me to provide care to my patients during this transition.

I would also like to thank all the Target pharmacy patients that kept in touch with me while I was closed. Thank you for staying with me the past few months and following me to the new Town Centre Pharmacy. The last few days many of you have come visited me at the new store and your well wishes have gotten me excited for this new chapter of my career.

To all my friends, staff and family, thank you for being there for me. Whether it was helping me move, or providing moral support, your contributions are not unnoticed.

Most of all, I would like to thank my wife, Olivia. Thank you for all the support and sacrifices you have made so that we can continue to pursue our dreams.

Warmest Regards,
Dennis Taruc

Here is an article from one of my colleague's in Alberta. I did have the pleasure of spending a month with Suhas during our training period prior to opening our pharmacies in May of 2013. I think this article really reflects some of the real time issues I have had to struggle with since January 15th (the "announcement"). I can't believe that hasn't even been 2 months.

The lack of communication from Target in the beginning (and even now) is what really is frustrating. Being told to close down or relocate your business in a 30 day time frame really has left a lot of people to make some very difficult decisions. Many of the pharmacies across the country have already closed down; and some have re-opened already in new locations.

The court has allowed us to stay until March 30th, But even then, that option was only given to us 2 weeks ago. Even with that news, it is a monumental task to continue to operate a business full-time knowing that you have to close it. Meanwhile finding and planning to open a new location did take longer than anticipated. But I am determined to reopen soon.

At the end, I think relocating the pharmacy is the right decision for my business, family, staff and patients. I thank everyone for their continual support.

Regards
Dennis

While compensation is being offered to retail workers for Target Canada stores across the country, the impact of the American-based chain closing is different for the pharmacies based within the stores.

I am thrilled to finally announce that Target pharmacy will be moving! I have secured a new location and will be opening a new pharmacy just steps away from Target.

As the new pharmacy will be under construction, we will continue to serve you here at the Target Pharmacy during the transition period.

TOWN CENTRE PHARMACY - REMEDY'S Rx will be located at:
#130 - 1153 The High Street. The same building as Kin's Farm Market and NCIX.

It is just outside the mall entrance of Coquitlam Centre (by H&M) and it is literally a 3 minute walk from Target.

It will be easily accessible to everyone and will be conveniently located between the mall and the upcoming skytrain station.

Our pharmacy team will be happy to continue serving you at our new location. Hope to see you all there soon.

We will keep everyone posted regarding the future move!

Kindest Regards,
Dennis

We're still here to serve you at the Target in Coquitlam Centre. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. It looks like we're the last Target Pharmacy operating in Greater Vancouver. Exciting news to come soon! Please share this page with all your friends and family.
