Company Description
Southstar Drug is one of the largest drugstore chains in the Philippines. Since 1937, it has carried a wide range of prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products, and a variety of food, personal care and health & wellness items. Southstar Drug operates several store concepts, from stand-alone dedicated pharmacies to stores inside supermarkets, and pharmacies with self-service convenience sections. Southstar Drug was founded by the Dy family in Naga City more than 75 years ago. From a humble mom-and-pop business, the company is now one of the country’s Top 500 Corporations. Southstar Drug recently acquired Chavez Pharmacy, a drugstore chain in Batangas. Commencing operations in 1975, Chavez Pharmacy now has seven stores. The acquisition will allow Robinsons Retail to further expand and strengthen its drug store business. Southstar Drug has now over 667 stores nationwide and still growing!
