Superdrug and Broke lads
Thursday, November 27, 2008
I've just spent a week in London; a city I enjoyed very much. From an outsider's point of view, it has a self-assured, quirky and historic feel to it. As I like to do when heading overseas, I visited one of the local pharmacies to get a feel for how it rolls there...
The chain was called Superdrug, and frankly I was surprised by the name, and more so by the logo, which looks like it might be designed by - and aimed at - a thirteen-year old girl. Come to think of it, it probably is. It certainly does not provide even some semblance of responsible healthcare, community care or otherwise.
It's not quite as obvious as Ladbrokes betting agency, designed to rid young blokes of their cold hard cash...

Looks like Superdrug is focusing much more on the beauty products it sells than the service it provides as a pharmacist.
Makes you wonder why they even bother to keep the pharmacy side of it.
