Amcal Gorokan Pharmacy is leading the way on the Central Coast by being the first drive-through pharmacy in the region.
The chemist at 70 Wallarah Rd has a long-term presence in the Gorokan shopping centre but just recently it upgraded to a new look with Amcal branding, together with longer opening hours and an e-commerce platform to make life more convenient for customers.
Owner Pharmacist Eric Ngo has taken the pharmacy through numerous changes in the 17 years since he took over and says the drive-through is just one of the ways Amcal Gorokan is embracing technology to innovate and expand healthcare services for the community.
“With busy schedules and hectic lifestyles, customers are always looking for ways to save time,” he said.
“A drive-through allows customers to quickly pick-up essential needs and medicines without having to park and get out of the car to go into the pharmacy.
“We’re offering customers a simple click and collect program, script collection, e-commerce orders – it’s all about convenience – which is great for parents not having to organise their children to come inside, for people with mobility difficulties or even those who are not feeling well or have COVID.”
There’s a few ways to take advantage of the drive-through service – phone the pharmacy with your order; use the Amcal Gorokan app; or place the order online.
Staff at the pharmacy will let customers know when the order is ready to pick-up and they will then deliver it your vehicle in the parking area behind the pharmacy.
It’s that simple – and the Pharmacy is open weekdays 7.30am to 8.30pm and on weekends from 8.30am to 8.30pm.
