Ever wonder how we find all of the cool items at Epic?

Every year for the past decade, Laura has taken the Epic Team on a Research and Development trip or activity to involve the team in searching for new, innovative retail items to support and include on our retail floor.

Prioritizing local, Canadian vendors, we always search for products that will benefit your health, wellness and the environment.

We are so excited to share highlights from this 10th annual Epic Pharmacy R&D with you!

Team Epic took a trip to Vancouver to attend the CHFA 2023 convention this year to gain inspiration from other innovators in the industry, search for new products and vendors that align with our mission statement, and learn more about how we can continue to evolve and better serve our community and environment.

We ventured all over the city in search of up and coming brands, tested out an array of items from beauty products to food and supplements, and ended up finding so much more than we anticipated! If you know us, you’re familiar with our ever-changing retail floor because we’re always looking for exciting, new break through’s in health and wellness to feature! We gained a ton of new knowledge on merchandising do’s and dont’s and cannot wait to share what we found with you!

In the meantime, come say hi to us between 10am and 6pm and ask us about some of our exciting new products to grace the Epic shelves!
