Jean Coutu

💊 A Quebec success story built on care, community, and innovation.

Founded in 1969 by pharmacist Jean Coutu, the first Jean Coutu pharmacy in Montréal redefined the industry with longer opening hours, professional service, and an impressive variety of products. What began as a single discount pharmacy soon grew into one of Canada’s most trusted names in health and wellness.

By 1973, Jean Coutu introduced a franchise model that empowered independent pharmacists, helping the brand expand across Quebec, New Brunswick, and Ontario—and even into the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. The company became known for its innovative spirit, introducing Canada’s first prescription renewal service via mobile app for easy refills.

Today, Jean Coutu remains a pillar of Quebec entrepreneurship, blending pharmacy expertise with retail excellence. Now a proud subsidiary of METRO, the brand continues its mission of offering accessible healthcare, trusted advice, and personalized service to communities across Canada.
