Superdrug was founded in 1966 and has grown to become one of the UK's leading health & beauty retailers, with over 700 stores nation-wide.

Superdrug is known as a value retailer and appeals to a wide audience through a mix of everyday low prices and unbeatable offers. With over 6,000 product lines, there is something for everyone, from everyday essentials and own-brand favourites to premium purchases. Product lines include vitamins and non-prescriptive medicinal products, baby toiletries, food and accessories, hosiery, drinks and snacks, photographic processing and film products, newspapers and magazines and household items.

The stores are predominantly aimed at people who love the whole experience of health & beauty shopping. The layouts, zoning, merchandising, creative lighting and colour have all been designed to encourage product testing and to allow customers to browse at their own pace in a welcoming and relaxing environment.

Over a quarter of Superdrug outlets feature a pharmacy, a similar number feature an in-store perfumery and all offer a film developing/printing service. Each staff member is totally committed to "getting it right for the customer" through teamwork, a passion for the brand and a straightforward approach to consumers.

Superdrug launches hundreds of new own-brand products each year. The company works closely with its suppliers to identify new trends from the big brands or take them from the catwalk and turn them into affordable reality on the high street.

Superdrug is also very conscious of being a good corporate citizen. Far-sighted environmental policies reduce waste and encourage recycling while the company has a charter in place against animal testing of its products or ingredients. Furthermore, Superdrug has sponsored store fundraising initiatives for charity and has raised over ¢G1 million for Breast Cancer Care over the past few years.
