Locally owned and operated, Parksville Pharmasave has always strived to provide the community with the highest quality of health care possible, while making important contributions to the local community.
In January 2003, Tammie Toriglia and John Shillabeer opened Pharmasave Health Centre in Parksville, BC. A small store in the beginning, Parksville Pharmasave has grown significantly in both size and range of services offered. In 2017, Lonny Barr joined Tammie as part-owner after 10 years with the company. Together, they completed a store expansion, increasing the range of services and products available to the Parksville community while updating the storefront’s look and feel. Though the store and staff have grown, the “small store” feel and level of customer service has not changed, and helping improve the health and well-being of their customers continues to be the number one priority for the staff.
