A family legacy rooted in service, passion, and purpose

At a Shoppers Drug Mart^® in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the connection between Associate-Owner Sonal Purohit and her father, Bachu Purohit, is one of deep respect, shared purpose, and devoted support. Working under the same roof, they’ve built a partnership that blends decades of experience with genuine care - for each other and their community.  

The beauty of family

In the Beauty department of a Hamilton, Ontario Shoppers Drug Mart, Carrie and Calen Whitehead are redefining what it means to work as a team. As a mother-daughter duo, their connection goes far beyond the store floor - it’s built on years of shared experiences, creativity, and a true passion for the beauty industry.

Running Together: Kam and Francesco’s journey
