WORKING TOGETHER = WINNING TOGETHER

Familiprix

Familiprix was the first network of affiliated pharmacies to dare to be 100% dedicated to health.

It is currently the only banner in Québec to fully belong to its pharmacists. This group of independent pharmacists have their own banner and distribution center.

With more than 400 locations throughout Quebec and New Brunswick and annual retail sales exceeding a billion dollars, Familiprix Inc. today is a dynamic and innovative company that listens to its clients.

It was in 1977 when pharmaceutical wholesaler Distribution Fraserville in Rivière-du-Loup launched the Médico-Prix pharmaceutical banner, then comprised of a dozen pharmacies located primarily in eastern Québec. In 1980, the banner changed its name to Familiprix.

From the beginning, the banner was successful in eastern Québec. Many independent pharmacist-owners wanted to work together to better compete with the large chains.

In February 1984, Montréal wholesaler Distribution Pharmacies Universelles purchased Distribution Fraserville in Rivière-du-Loup, and with it, the Familiprix banner.

This marked the start of a protracted legal effort in which Familiprix member pharmacists sought complete autonomy from the banner. On December 8, 1986, their will and solidarity paid off: Familiprix became an independent company wholly owned by its member pharmacists. A full-scale development plan began attracting scores of new member pharmacists.
