Priceline plans 20-plus more stores this year as it celebrates 40 years of retailing with a six-week, multi-media campaign to spread brand awareness and promote product offers.
The planned expansion will take the retail chain to 500 outlets; today, there are more than 470 Priceline and Priceline Pharmacy stores nationally employing over 7,000 people.
Priceline Pharmacy general manager Andrew Vidler said “Our plans for the future are exciting and ambitious – we’re on track to expand to 500 stores this year, our reputation for new and exclusive will be further improved, our digital capability in eommerce, ehealth and loyalty are delivering amazing changes, and we’ll be launching a new concept store this April, which puts our pharmacists front and centre and proves our commitment to real, classic care.”
The birthday campaign features Chrissie Swan in media that spans free-to-air television, social media, online video, as well as Priceline’s extensive network of owned assets – including its loyalty program the Sister Club.
