Apex Pharmacies Ltd. Sandstone Pharmacies

Sandstone Pharmacies is the retail brand of the pharmacies operated by Apex Pharmacies Ltd., a privately held company operating 20 community pharmacies in Alberta, Canada. With its head office in Calgary, Sandstone Pharmacies has created a regional banner with almost 300 employees and with locations ranging from 1000 sq ft up to 15,000 sq ft. Sandstone’s commitment as a pharmacy company is to improve quality of life within the communities it serves by exceeding its patients’ expectations while offering a “person-centered” health care model that delivers positive health outcomes and value-added services going far beyond dispensing medications. It has found success by cultivating an independent feel within its pharmacies, while at the same time taking advantage of its corporate buying, systems, and reporting. In addition to its pharmacies, APEX Pharmacies Ltd. operates Canada Post Retail Post Office franchises within 3 of its pharmacies, and operates a Hallmark Cards shop under a trade-mark license agreement at Fifth Avenue Place in Calgary.
