RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - The Local Choice Tuine Pharmacy has once again proven that excellence, community care, and dedication truly set them apart.
The pharmacy was recently awarded the prestigious title of National Franchise of the Year at the annual The Local Choice & CJ Distribution Conference — the highest honour across the country within the franchise network.
This sought-after award recognises not only exceptional operational performance but also the heart and commitment poured into serving the local community every day. Under the leadership of franchisee Jannie Groenewald, who also received the Franchisee of the Year award, The Local Choice Tuine has become a beacon of care, trust, and innovation in community healthcare.
To mark this remarkable achievement, the Tuine team hosted a joyful celebration on Saturday, 26 July - appropriately named Bee Awesome Day. The event was their way of saying “thank you” to the community that helped make the award possible.
The pharmacy was abuzz with activity throughout the day, offering free wellness checks, local treats, lucky draws, fun for the kids, and heartwarming moments shared among staff, customers, and community members alike.
The bee-themed celebration was a nod to the values The Local Choice Tuine stands for: teamwork, dedication, and doing good for the greater hive.
“This win belongs to every staff member, every customer who walks through our doors, and every person who believes in the power of local healthcare,” said Tembi, pharmacist at The Local Choice Tuine. “Bee Awesome Day was our way of celebrating that - together.”
From accolades to action, The Local Choice Tuine continues to raise the bar, proving that when a pharmacy leads with heart, everyone benefits.
