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.

Running Together: Kam and Francesco’s journey

Kam Kooner and Francesco Stagliano, District Managers for Shoppers Drug Mart, are no strangers to the Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women, an annual event held in 18 communities across the country in support of women’s mental health programs. Their involvement with the Run is about more than just participation; it’s about the passion they share for the cause and the camaraderie they’ve built together over the past ten years.

Derrick transitions from grocery to beauty at Shoppers

Derrick Pittman’s retail career began in 1993 in the Loblaw bakery department, where he quickly learned the ins and outs of the business. Over the next 30 years, he steadily climbed the ladder—holding positions from Store Manager to District Manager and eventually Vice President of Operations across Loblaws, Zehrs, Provigo, and Market Franchise. In 2023, he served as the Senior Vice President (SVP), Operations for Real Atlantic Superstore, Dominion, and Market Franchise, cementing his reputation as a seasoned operator who understands retail at every level. Derrick’s progression wasn’t just about moving up; it was about building a deep understanding of everyday retail challenges by working side by side with frontline teams.
