The year was 1945: the soldiers were coming home, Zoot Suits were in style and Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra crooned over the radio waves. In this new era of hope and expectation, London Drugs was born. It was a humble, community drugstore-just 1000 square feet-but this little store on Main Street, Vancouver, was given a big name. The store was nam...
Even in its early days, London Drugs was a different sort of drugstore. Soon after the store opened, we discovered our next door neighbour, a camera store, was closing shop and needed to sell its stock of cameras. In the retail world of 1940s Vancouver, shops were much more specialized than they are today. Customers would buy meat at the butcher, m...

From the c...
In 1983, Wynne Powell, was convinced that the same people who bought cameras and toasters from London Drugs would one day want to buy computers too. It was a far-fetched idea. In 1983, letters were typed on electric typewriters, spelling errors fixed with correcting tape, and mail went out with a sealed envelope and a stamp. There were rumblings of...
In the 1990s, the Baby Boomer generation and London Drugs turned 50. Health care providers, including pharmacies, would have to face massive changes as this large group of people aged. Like the Baby Boomers themselves, London Drugs has the revolutionary spirit of its generation. A new approach to pharmacy care would have to be taken: better informa...
