Setting New Retail Standards
The expertise and service culture at Super-Pharm's stores is the core of the company's strength and uniqueness. The company has set new standards in Israel for retail outlets and consumer culture with clean and easily recognizable stores, wide aisles, expert assistance, convenient store hours and parking availability. For its 3.5 million customers each month, a visit to a Super-Pharm store becomes the ultimate shopping experience. The company's imaginative advertising and marketing campaigns make it a model for customers and competitors alike, and Super-Pharm's awareness of the fast-moving, constantly changing market is the basis for its ability to maintain its leadership position in retailing. The company's greatest strength is its 6,500 employees, who possess independent management skills and provide courteous, efficient and expert service. The staff is trained to the highest professional standards at Super-Pharm's Koffler Academy.

International Success
Murray Koffler established Shoppers Drug Mart in 1962 in Canada, which became the number one pharmacy retail chain across the country. In 1978, he set up Super-Pharm with his son Leon and daughter Theo, and together they developed the company into Israel's leading drugstore chain. In 2001, the company opened its first branches in Poland, and today operates 35 branches throughout the country. Annual sales of the Polish chain during 2011 reached $180 million.

The Associate System
The Associate System set up by Murray Koffler is a unique franchising method. The Associate – usually a pharmacist – owns the company, which operates the branch, while the property, licenses and financial credits are provided by the central office. The Associate is responsible for operational results and the company provides corporate expertise and financing. The result is the most profitable outcome for both Super-Pharm and its associates.

The Central Office
Branches are fully backed by the company's Central Office in Herzliya with departments supporting Marketing, Operations, Human Resources, Information Technology, Finance and Economics, Real Estate and Administration. The central office has 200 employees.

Customer Service
Super-Pharm's main advantage and core value is its customer service culture. All Associates emphasize the importance of quality service and professionalism to their management teams and this enables maximum flexibility, while catering to customer needs. Each branch is measured against its service plan several times a month. This ongoing assessment fosters the image of excellence the company consistently enjoys in consumer awareness.

Super-Pharm Branches
Located in shopping malls, power centers, city centers and neighborhoods, Super-Pharm has an average store size of 500 square meters, which is growing as existing stores are expanded and new, larger stores are opened. All stores are divided into the following departments:
