History

Médico-Prix started in 1977 in Eastern Quebec. It was renamed Familiprix on 17 October 1979. In the mid-1990s, it expanded into Montreal. In 2001, Familiprix acquires a large piece of land in the Armand-Viau industrial park in Québec City for its new head office and distribution centre in order to centralize its operations. The distribution centre was expended in 2009 and in 2018.

Advertising

Actor Sylvain Marcel became the star of a series of Familiprix humorous TV commercials and Familiprix's corporate website. He plays a pharmacist in a white lab coat that blends in everyday situations, only to suddenly yell "Ah-ha! Familiprix!" when the help of a pharmacist is needed: when a shopper bangs herself against a window, when an ex-smoker bums a cigarette or when a young couple is home alone for the week-end. The signature song of these ad campaigns is Huey "Piano" Smith's "Don't You Just Know It."

gollark: The wikipedia page for `The Underground History of American Education` seems to have archive.org links to some stuff, but naturally my mobile network blocks archive.org because that makes sense and is an entirely reasonable thing to do.
gollark: I've heard it said that it works more to teach conformity, or make people happier with low level abuse.
gollark: "What, you can just *look up* that information in ten seconds? Nope! Not allowed! Let us never speak of such things."
gollark: Or forcing people to memorize useless information they will never need so that they can remember it for long enough to write down the right bits in an exam so that someone can say that they Know™ this subject... oh wait.
gollark: Also, universities are horribly expensive in the UK, even though meanwhile on the other side of the Scottish border they manage to provide free tuition, which is, er, bad.
