When Assiniboine Pharmacy opened over 4 years ago, the aim was to bring the small town feel to the big city. The premise was and still is simple – make sure people they serve feel at home. For owners Ryan Buffie and Kris Petersen, both pharmacists who met at the University of Manitoba in the late 1990s, the idea of big, corporate pharmacies void of vital relationships and the subsequent trust it forms between pharmacist and patient, wasn’t where they wanted to be. Assiniboine Pharmacy offers a wide range of services, from free prescription delivery, a VIP program and multiple ways to refill prescriptions, including online and even via an online app.
