Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. has opened its newest Southstar Drug branch in Sta. Cruz, Laguna, the retail group’s 900th branded drugstore.
Robinsons Retail said the store is part of Southstar Drug’s “strategic expansion” into underpenetrated areas in Luzon.
“With the current climate of rising health concerns among our customers, it is especially important for us now to be able to address their needs for reliable and trusted medicines.
We are gaining momentum in growing our geographic footprint in line with this goal with even more store openings lined up for 2022,” said Christine Tueres, Robinsons Retail’s group general manager for drugstore segment.
Robinsons Retail’s drugstore businesses are under Southstar Drug, Rose Pharmacy, and The Generics Pharmacy (TGP).
Rose Pharmacy, which was acquired in October 2020, is the leading player in Visayas and Mindanao. TGP is the country’s largest chain of generic drugstores with more than 2,000 stores nationwide.
