The Harcourts Pharmacy chain, the biggest network of its kind with 35 dedicated pharmacies will expand its network to 50 by the end of 2017.
Speaking at a press conference in Colombo, Harcourts Chairman Ahmed Rheyas stated that even though the bottom line is very
thin, he still prefers to continue its venture due to acceptance and patronisation of the public.
“A footfall of more than 10,000 customers patronise Harcourts Pharmacy daily not only to purchase medicine but to happily avail the value added services provided by us such as door to door delivery, E-Channelling and the convenience of paying mobile payments, lease payments, insurance payments, utility bill payments and donation payments through our newly installed Pay & Go machines at selected branches.
“We as a mass marketing chain have spread our wings to various parts of the country including the major cities like Kandy, Anuradhapura, Gampola, Ranawana, Dambulla, Ratnapura and Negombo catering to customers in the urban and rural area as well.
Even with the dearth of qualified pharmacy staff, we are managing to provide our loyal customers the best at all times,” he said.
