Pharmacies make the merge A big change is on the horizon for local pharmacists Ron Chin and Evan Choie. From next Monday, Wainuiomata Pharmacy and Brian’s Pharmacy will merge together to become the aptly named Wainuiomata Pharmacy. The brand new green and black pharmacy will be located at the Brian’s Pharmacy site on The Strand, which has undergone extensive refurbishment. The new store will offer customers a seven day a week service, complete with private consultation rooms and a Lotto counter. Owner of Wainuiomata Pharmacy, Ron Chin, said he had owned his pharmacy in Wainuiomata for almost 20 years. He said while he has enjoyed his time at the mall he was ready for a change, so he approached Evan. “I love my job, and I have such a great rapport with customers they are like my family. But there is my
other family and I would love to spend more time with them. “So I knocked on Evan’s door. We knew each other professionally but not personally. All the pharmacists in the area have a really good relationship,” Ron said. Owner of Brian’s Pharmacy Evan Choie said he pounced at the opportunity to join forces with Ron. Evan has owned Brian’s Pharmacy for almost five-years. “There is a lot of pressure with being the only pharmacist,” Evan said. “I am looking forward to building relationships, offering better health care and building better rapport with customers. “Instead of us being business men out the back being swamped by paperwork we can be out in the shop talking to customers and offering expert healthcare advice in a friendly and warm environment.”
