Navarro marks first store opening in five years

MIAMI — Navarro Discount Pharmacy, the largest Hispanic-owned pharmacy chain in the United States and an MBF Healthcare portfolio company, has announced the opening of its 29th store in North Miami in the Arch Creek Shopping Center — marking its first new store in five years.

The company is in the midst of a 22-store expansion strategy and expects to open additional stores in the next three to six months in Homestead and Pembroke Pines.

More than 200 people were on hand for the grand opening, including City of North Miami Mayor Andre Pierre, the North Miami City Council and North Miami Chamber of Commerce executive director Ron Welsandt. A donation of $5,000 was made to the Florida International University Scholarship Fund, a local college.

The new 14,000-sq.-ft. store features Navarro's new merchandise layout, new colors, enhanced signage and improved services for customers, such as a pediatric window for busy parents, free compounding pharmacy services, a free Diabetes Club for adults and children with diabetes, and free prescription delivery for all customers.
