Say hello to McCabes Pharmacy!
By Alex Redmond
Eight Cork pharmacies are going to look very different in the next few months.
In the coming months, LloydsPharmacies will be rebranded to McCabes Pharmacy with the outlets on Grand Parade, The Lough Shopping Centre, Hollyhill Shopping Centre, Ballincollig, Midleton, The Glen, Youghal and Charleville undergoing this rebranding.
The news comes following the successful transition of the Ashleaf store in Dublin at the end of August. McCabes Pharmacy aim to solidify their presence in Ireland with this move, expanding to 112 stores, and, the company say, creating a more resilient pharmacy network that puts the patients first.
They add that the aim of this transition is to provide exceptional care and an enhancement of services to reflect evolving healthcare needs - including the rise of digital health, a focus on personalised and preventative care, and the expanding role of pharmacies in providing integrated health services. Prescriptions and medication orders will not be affected, and the standard of service will continue as usual.
Sharon McCabe, CEO of McCabes Pharmacy, said: “We are excited to mark a new chapter in the Cork community and nationwide. By coming together under the McCabes Pharmacy name, we are not only expanding our reach and becoming more accessible to our patients but also reinforcing our dedication to patient-centric healthcare.
“We are excited about the future and the opportunities this rebranding brings as we become Ireland’s leading pharmacy brand with 112 pharmacies in addition to providing greater access nationwide to Ireland's largest online health pharmacy website and app which boosts excellent customer ratings for service including next day delivery and click and collect.”
Jan Pieter Hallema, Managing Director LloydsPharmacy, added: “Whilst our patients will still see the same familiar faces from the teams they know and trust, this new more resilient pharmacy network combines the strengths of both brands allowing us to enhance our services and continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
McCabes Pharmacy is committed to providing top-tier healthcare services across Ireland, focusing on personalised patient care and upholding a standard for excellence in the pharmacy retail sector.
