We’re incredibly grateful to have been named a finalist in the Spark Retail Awards 2026.

While we didn’t set out to win an award, being recognised among so many great businesses means a lot to our whole team.

A heartfelt thank you to our team for the hard work, care and effort you put in every day. There are many things that happen behind the scenes that our customers don’t see, and this recognition belongs to every one of you.
And to our wonderful customers and community — thank you.

Thank you for choosing us, trusting us with your health, and continuing to support our local pharmacy. Your support is what makes everything we do worthwhile.

We’re very proud to be part of the Palmerston North community, and even more grateful to share this journey with you. ❤️

Today is the day. ⏰💗

Set your alarms, Dollar Match Day starts at 10:00am and you won't want to miss it.

Our incredible match giving partner Xero is inviting all of you to participate in Dollar Match Day. All donation up to $200 will be doubled, while funds last. Every dollar goes twice as far for breast cancer research, education and patient support.

For Xero's NZ Country Manager Bridget Snelling, this is more than a corporate commitment. As a breast cancer survivor herself, Bridget knows first hand how vital this work is, and why showing up matters.

Ten women a day in New Zealand will be diagnosed with breast cancer. That's someone's mum, sister, friend or colleague. Today we have the chance to do something about it.

There's a $50,000 matching pool and once it's gone, it's gone.

So tell your friends, tag your people and get ready to make your donation double the impact. 🎀
