Grand opening set for July 29 with Lions Club burgers, door prizes and discounts
Pharmasave Blairmore is celebrating its move to a new location at 12361 20 Avenue with a grand opening on July 29, and the team is eager to showcase expanded services, rental options and the same welcoming atmosphere they’re known for.
“We want to be your community pharmacy,” said owner and pharmacist Ravi Sankhavara, who leads a dedicated team that worked tirelessly to bring the relocation to life, “We all worked super hard to make this happen.”
Among the new offerings at the upgraded location is compounding, which allows the pharmacy to create custom medications tailored to individual health needs. Rental items are also now available, including Medela breast pumps, crutches, two-wheel walkers and cold therapy units designed for post-surgical care.
The store continues to provide a wide range of services including travel consultations and vaccinations, compression sock fittings, and an assortment of giftware.
“Customer service with a smile is part of what we do,” said front store manager Tanya Allsop.
The community response to the move has been overwhelmingly positive.
“The general reaction has been, ‘Wow!’ This building has seen a lot of changes over the years,” said the team.
To celebrate the grand opening, Pharmasave Blairmore will host an event starting at noon on July 29. The local Lions Club will be serving their famous burgers, and there will be door prizes and customer appreciation discounts available throughout the day.
“It’s just a small token to say thank you to our loyal customers and community,” Allsop added.
The pharmacy is currently fully staffed and proud to introduce its team: Ravi, pharmacist and owner; Tanya, front store manager; Lynne, customer service; and pharmacy assistants Lauren, Melissa and Anand.
As part of their ongoing mission, the team hopes to continue growing as a trusted and reliable healthcare provider in the Crowsnest Pass.
The public is encouraged to stop by the new location, explore the expanded services, and enjoy the celebration on July 29.
