🌞 Hello from your local Peninsula IDA Pharmacy! 🌞

Summer is in full swing, and while things may look a little different around here lately, we want to reassure you: we’re still open, we’re not going anywhere, and we’re always here for you! 💚

You might notice some changes in the coming days — new faces, blinds on the windows, and a bit of hustle and bustle behind the counter. That’s because we’re in a transition phase, growing our team and refreshing the space as we prepare for a busy season ahead!

We’re so grateful for your patience as we train new staff and work hard to serve you with the care and attention you deserve. Rumours have been going around, but let us clear the air: the pharmacy is NOT closing — far from it! We’re committed to staying right here in the heart of the community, with even more to offer in the months ahead.

So pop in and say hello, root the girls on as they work triple time to support your needs and be patient as we might be running a bit slower as we get things moving.

We’re here, we’re open, and we’re excited about what’s to come. 💊✨

Thank you for your continued support — we couldn’t do this without you.
