The Shoprite Group unveiled its third new store format in one week, with the launch of a standalone pharmacy in Willowbridge Village, Cape Town, called MediRite Plus.
This follows the recent opening of the Checkers Little Me baby store and the smaller format Checkers Foods store.
The new MediRite Plus is a one-stop health and wellness destination, with an affordable and accessible product range that includes collagen, almond milk, beauty, skincare, and baby brands, and the UK’s popular Salt of the Earth natural deodorant.
The standalone store offers a tranquil environment – complete with a specially developed, calming scent - where customers can fulfill all their pharmacy needs, including specialised healthcare items like wheelchairs, walkers and crutches.
Getting prescription medicine is also super convenient, with PrepMyScript which makes it easy to pre-order chronic repeat medication. And MediRite Courier Pharmacy Service will deliver repeat prescription medication straight to a customer’s door at no extra cost - a free service contracted to most medical aids.
MediRite Plus customers will receive a 20% off voucher with every purchase for their next shop (1 – 7 Dec.) and can look forward to a variety of launch specials, including:
- 30% off selected fragrances
- 20% off Skoon skincare range
- 20% off selected Rimmel and Maybelline cosmetics
The pharmacy accepts all major medical aids, and customers can also use their Xtra Savings cards to benefit from the rewards progamme.
Qualified, professional pharmacists are on duty to assist and advise customers, including pharmacy manager J.C. Potgieter who has more than 30 years’ experience.
Trading hours at MediRite Plus are 08:00 – 20:00 from Mondays to Fridays, 08:00 – 17:00 on Saturdays, and 08:00 – 15:00 on Sundays.
