Your new health & beauty HAVEN

Valu Plus Pharmacy, opened its doors to the public in November 2008 and since that time has become an essential part of Drumalee and Cavan town life. On Friday 8th April, the popular Pharmacy re-invented itself and re-branded under the name, Haven Pharmacy.

The pharmacy is conveniently located within the shop floor of Supervalu at Drumalee. A large crowd attended the official re-branding at 2pm where an i Pad Air, a weekend away, large hampers and a number of other great prizes were raffled among the attendees. Northern sound radio did two live broadcasts from outside the pharmacy with Pharmacy staff being interviewed on The Jo Finneagan & The Johnny O’Keefe shows. There were free goodie bags for all and the face painter in attendance was kept very busy. A fantastic day was had by one & all.

Haven Pharmacy is a new brand created by 49 members of a co-operative of community Pharmacies, all over Ireland, employing over 150 Pharmacists & a further 400 staff. Haven Pharmacy, is part of the leading fastest growing network of independent, Irish owned, community pharmacies. Commenting on the official launch, Pharmacist and owner, Kieran Brennan thanked celebrity Peter Canavan for officiating at the launch of the newly branded Pharmacy, and all those in attendance on the day.

Outlining the Haven Pharmacy approach, Kieran said “for over 9 years now, I have been part of a co-operative group of community Pharmacies, sharing knowledge, best practice, buying power and latest thinking. The group worked so well together that we began looking at ways we could offer further benefits

to our customers. The result is a brand that people can instantly recognise, no matter where they are in the country. Each Haven Pharmacy is tailored to local needs, enabling Cavan residents to benefit from the shared knowledge, services and value offered by a national network of Haven Pharmacies.

He stated that “recent research by behaviour and attitudes found that Irish consumers place a strong value on a personalised pharmacy experience. Consumers are also seeking an increase in self-care and self-medication services with more people turning to pharmacists in the first instance for healthcare advice and support”. With all this in mind, we can safely say that here at Haven Pharmacy Cavan, management & staff are still the same but we can now offer a new diverse range of products and services, including health screenings, ongoing promotions, and a unique and interactive store experience. Kieran paid particular attention on the day to thank all the existing customers and residents of Drumalee and further afield for their continued support. He emphasised that under the new Haven brand, the Pharmacy will be in a much stronger position going forward to deliver a more dynamic shopping and Pharmacy experience, most notable in its service provision and value added deals.
