THE former AMCAL Pharmacy on Wyndham Street has reopened under the TerryWhite Chemmart banner, unveiling a modern new look. Operated by Melvin and Archana Deo, the pharmacy celebrated its transformation with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, May 8, attended by community members and guests.

Pharmacist Melvin thanked the community for their ongoing support during the 10-week renovation.

“There was a lot of disturbance felt by everyone – from all staff, all of our customers – and you all supported us. You’re always supportive and it’s really appreciated,” he said.

Now part of the TerryWhite Chemmart network, the pharmacy offers expanded services including skincare, makeup, and vaccinations.

Group Operations Manager Michael Beaumont welcomed the pharmacy, highlighting its role in the future of frontline healthcare.

“I know the pharmacy has had a big history within Shepparton, but it’s also nice to see it evolve the way it has, and there’s been a lot of time and effort that’s gone into getting it to this point.

“This store is well set up to meet the evolving needs of the community, and we’re privileged to have it in our network,” he said.
