Pharmacy Brands Canada Surpasses 300 Locations Nationwide
Milestone reflects the growing strength of independent, community-owned pharmacies across Canada.
EDMONTON, AB, Sept. 23, 2026 /CNW/ -- Pharmacy Brands Canada (PBC), Canada's fastest-growing independent pharmacy banner program, has reached over 300 locations nationwide. This milestone demonstrates PBC's commitment to empowering pharmacy owners to remain independent while providing the resources, purchasing power, and support of a national banner network.
"Surpassing 300 locations is about more than scale. It represents the strength of independent pharmacy and the trust owners place in PBC," said Jon Johnson, CEO of Pharmacy Brands Canada. "Our goal has always been to give independent owners the support and resources they need to succeed while keeping control of their businesses. We understand that every owner has different goals, and we provide flexible options to help them grow and serve their communities on their own terms."
PBC's growth has accelerated across the country, with particularly strong expansion in Ontario, where the network has added more than 50 locations over the past two years, establishing a significant and growing presence in the province.
To support unique ownership goals, PBC offers three flexible partnership models:
- Full Banner Program: Comprehensive banner services, and end-to-end operational support.
- Economic Plus: Full banner support paired with scalable economic benefits.
- OpenRx: A flexible program allowing independent pharmacy owners to manage their own generic formulary while benefiting from PBC's competitive wholesale pricing, purchasing power, and program support.
All PBC members benefit from marketing support, store design and conversion guidance, financing solutions, preferred vendor pricing, and dedicated clinical programs, all with no banner fees. PBC also partners exclusively with Canadian-owned wholesalers, reinforcing its commitment to supporting local businesses.
