Priceline Pharmacy Kippa-Ring has been crowned Priceline Pharmacy’s Store of the Year for 2022.
This is the pharmacy’s second time winning the award – the first being in 2016 – a clear demonstration of the store’s ongoing commitment to excellence and their community.
“My family and I feel really lucky to be part of this brand – we live and breathe Priceline, pink is in our blood!” says Franchise Partner at Kippa-Ring, Andrew Twist.
Passionate about health services, vaccinations, and its community, Kippa-Ring is operated by three generations of Priceline Pharmacy owners.
Jane Wilson opened her small pharmacy more than 50 years ago. Her daughter and Business Manager Jane Twist joined the ranks and her children Matilda and Andrew Twist became Franchise Partners in 2017.
“Jane, Andrew, Matilda and their team create an environment that feels like family for their team members and customers – when customers walk into Priceline Pharmacy Kippa-Ring, they know they’ll receive a level of personalised care and service they simply can’t find anywhere else,” says Priceline Pharmacy General Manager Andrew Vidler.
More than 470 Priceline Pharmacy stores around Australia took part in the award this year.
The award recognises the Queensland store’s commercial results, exceptional customer service and participation in brand programs and initiatives, including its support for Priceline’s charity program the Priceline Sisterhood Foundation.
Retail Manager of the Year
Retail Manager of the Year was awarded to Teneal Morgan from Priceline Pharmacy Dapto, NSW, whose exceptional leadership skills drive a culture of high performance.
Pharmacist of the Year
