It's time to treat!

A chain of health, wellness and beauty stores with over 230 stores across India and adding two new stores every week, Guardian Lifecare is built on a strong platform of reliability and service.

THE organised pharma retail chain Guardian Lifecare concentrates on service, value-adds, reliability of medicines and ambience to handle competition. The company follows a strategy to offer customer with genuine medicines under one roof and its loyalty programme offers customers redeemable points. The company follows a strict process of selection to sign up a franchisee. While selecting its franchisees, the focus is on individual's capacity to invest, along with his background and location. Interestingly, all its 35 franchisees are non-pharmacy background individuals and it works fine with the company because of the fact that each one of them bring with them their own individual touch and no baggage. Presently, the company has over 230 stores across India and is adding two new stores every week.
