P’tit Bonheur Au Naturel, one of the best known supplement-only stores in Montreal, is now operating under the name of La Parapharmacie. Owner Camille Coudari explains, “Parapharmacies have been around in most countries in Europe for many years. The name applies to stores that carry over-the-counter health, cosmetic and personal hygiene products. Some are associated with pharmacies that also sell prescription drugs, while other are stand-alone health stores.”
According to Mr. Coudari, the previous name, P’tit Bonheur Au Naturel, no longer reflected what the store had evolved into during the last few years.
“We have been working more and more with therapists looking for a store where their clients would find all their products and which scrupulously respect their protocols. Many are frustrated when they find out a clerk has suggested a lower quality brand that happens to be on sale for a professional line product. If the product is on backorder at the supplier, we contact the therapist for an alternative.”
La Parapharmacie is the brick and mortar division of Kemsolutions, a company that offers therapists and health stores multiple e-commerce services, including no cost online stores that can be added to existing website or blog page, fulfillment services, and affiliation programs that allow therapists and brick and mortar stores to generate extra revenues form their on line traffic.
