Following the rollout, McCabes Pharmacy will become the largest pharmacy retail brand in Ireland with 112 pharmacies
29th August 2024: Today marked the first step in McCabes Pharmacy’s journey to becoming Ireland’s largest and most patient-centric pharmacy brand with the official rebranding of their LloydsPharmacy, Ashleaf store in Dublin to McCabes Pharmacy – the first of many to follow.
The Ashleaf Shopping Centre in Crumlin was energised with excitement this morning with the official rebranding of the store which saw cheers from the pharmacy team and members of the community. An official ribbon-cutting took place, marking the beginning of a new era in community pharmacy care as McCabes Pharmacy expands its footprint with 112 stores employing 1,400 people.
In the coming months, a further 79 pharmacies across Ireland will undergo rebranding across many counties, stretching the length and breadth of Ireland from Letterkenny, to Sligo to Kenmare, Limerick, Wexford, and Dublin.
Both LloydsPharmacy and McCabes Pharmacy teams are uniting under the McCabes name with the objective of creating a stronger, more resilient pharmacy network that puts patients at the heart of everything, aiming 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.
Joining the celebrations and to help cut the ribbon of the newly rebranded McCabes Pharmacy Sharon McCabe, CEO of McCabes Pharmacy, Karen Doherty, General Manager, Jan Pieter Hallema, Managing Director LloydsPharmacy and Brian O’Keeffe, Retail Director along with the Ashleaf Pharmacy team.
Sharon McCabe, CEO of McCabes Pharmacy, said: “Today marks a new chapter for McCabes Pharmacy as we extend our renowned patient care to locations right across Ireland. By coming together under the McCabes Pharmacy name, we are not only expanding our reach and becoming more accessible to our patients but becoming the leading pharmacy services provider in Ireland the opportunities this rebranding brings as we become Ireland’s leading Pharmacy brand with 112 pharmacies. We also are excited that we can now bring our successful MccabesPharmacy.com and app offering to customers across the country 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.”
The rebrand is well underway and customers will start to see the McCabes Pharmacy name on stores over the coming months and expected to be fully branded by end of December. Prescriptions and medication orders will not be affected, and service will continue as usual with the same dedicated pharmacy teams providing their patients with a high standard of care and advice.
McCabes Pharmacy is committed to providing top-tier healthcare services across Ireland. With a focus on personalised patient care, and digital know how, McCabes Pharmacy continues to set the standard for excellence in the retail pharmacy sector.
