We're Changing Our Name
This is an amazing time for us all at LloydsPharmacy as we embark on an exciting journey of growth.
We are delighted to announce that we are changing our name to McCabes Pharmacy. This transformation marks a significant milestone for us, as we unite to create a network of 112 pharmacies, solidifying our position as the largest and most patient-centric community pharmacy chain in Ireland.
We believe that by combining our strengths, we can create a stronger, more resilient pharmacy network that puts patients at the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to continue providing exceptional care and to enhance our offerings to meet our patients ever evolving healthcare needs.
While the name on the outside of our pharmacies will be changing, the essence of what makes us special will remain the same. Our dedicated pharmacy teams will continue to provide the friendly faces, expert advice, and great value you have come to expect. We are proud of the relationships we have built with our customers and are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence you place in us.
Our commitment to your health and well-being remains our top priority. We are eager to continue serving you with the same high standards of care and service that you know and trust.
As McCabes Pharmacy, we will continue to offer best-in-class in-store services, such as blood pressure checks, vaccinations, emergency contraception, supports to quit smoking, DigiScript, and many more. Our expanded network will enable us to offer even more comprehensive and convenient healthcare solutions, making it easier for you to manage your health.
McCabes Pharmacy, originally a family owned and operated business, was founded in 1981. The business has since grown from 32 pharmacies employing 436 colleagues to over 112 pharmacies and over 1400 employees with the rebranding of LloydsPharmacy to McCabes Pharmacy. The business is led by Sharon McCabe, as CEO, since 1999. McCabes is committed to the communities it serves and is dedicated to delivering best in class community pharmacy care and customer experience to the Irish public.
Our teams are excited about this new chapter and look forward to sharing it with you. Your support and loyalty are invaluable to us, and we are pleased to continue our journey with you under the new name of McCabes Pharmacy.
