Uniprix, also known as Groupe Uniprix, is a Canadian pharmacy banner and group of independently owned pharmacies founded in 1977 and based in Montreal, Quebec. It operates in Quebec under three banners: Uniprix, Uniprix Santé and Uniprix Clinique.[1] As of 2017 the group had about 330 pharmacies in Quebec, the third-largest pharmacy network in the province by number of stores, after the Jean Coutu Group (382) and Familiprix (358).[2]
Uniprix sells products under the Option+ private label.
On April 12, 2017, McKesson Canada, a subsidiary of the U.S.-based McKesson that already owned the Proxim banner, reached an agreement to acquire Groupe Uniprix and its roughly 330 pharmacies. The group's pharmacist-shareholders approved the sale by 95 percent on May 16, 2017, and the transaction was completed on September 6, 2017.[1][2][3]
With the addition of Uniprix to its existing Proxim banner, McKesson Canada became the largest retail pharmacy operator in Quebec by number of stores.[2]
