'''Pharmasave National''', which has been in operation since [[1981]], currently serves as a banner for over 340 independently owned [[pharmacies]] across [[Canada]]. The corporation is separated into 5 regions: Pacific, Western, Central, Ontario, and Atlantic. Pharmasave's business model is one of [[self-governance]], where pharmacy owners are elected to serve on its regional Boards of Directors. This way, the needs of the owners are served by other owners, and not by a separate corporate entity. The success of this model has played an important part in the attracting of new members and its growing store count across the country. However, there are a number of emerging stores that are under corporate control, mainly in its Pacific region. |
