TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2021 /CNW/ - Neighbourly Pharmacy Inc. ("Neighbourly" or the "Company") (TSX: NBLY), Canada's largest and fastest growing network of independent pharmacies, is pleased to announce that the Company has placed 33rd in the Globe and Mail's Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies for 2021.
The Globe and Mail rankings consider companies' revenue growth over the prior three years. Neighbourly's revenue has increased by 1,873% over this period. In 2020, the Company ranked first in Canada, recording revenue growth of 13,940% over the prior three years.
"Neighbourly's team is incredibly proud to once again have their hard work recognized by the Globe and Mail's prestigious rankings," stated Chris Gardner, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "Our significant growth is a direct result of our 1,700 team members' commitment to providing our patients and customers with the highest quality care. This commitment was particularly evident during 2021, when our pharmacy teams rose to the challenge of ensuring continuity of patient care and access to critical medication while providing over 80,000 COVID-19 vaccinations. We are proud of their role as essential service providers, and humbled by the compassionate care they have provided Canadians during these unprecedented times."
Neighbourly's team and proven business model have enabled the company to seamlessly acquire and integrate pharmacies across Canada, while maintaining a consistently high-level of great service across its operations.
