Saanich News is celebrating with owners Satnam Lalli, Andrea Hyndman and Dave and Michelle Jeske on the expansion and renovation of their Pharmasave Broadmead location.
A Grand re-opening took place Friday, Nov. 14 with a ribbon-cutting and a cake-cutting ceremony as well as a ladies shopping night that took place on Sunday: Prizes were awarded and the finale – a grand prize draw – took place last night. One lucky shopper walked away with a two-night getaway to the beautiful Beach Club Resort in Parksville.
Shoppers were also eligible for two other grand prize draws: Vancouver Canucks tickets, and an Apple iPad and $500 Pharmasave gift card. Canuck calendars are still available; partial proceeds help the Canucks for Kids Fund.
The store has been expanded to offer over 10,000 square feet of shopping. The Pharmasave Broadmead location has been in business for 23 years.
