Jean Coutu is a pharmacy chain that started in Montreal in 1969 and now has its head office in Varennes. It is known for its pharmacists and prescriptions, its cosmetics counters and its Personnelle house-brand products. For many Quebecers, it is simply the neighbourhood pharmacy.
It suits anyone who needs a prescription filled, quick health advice or everyday essentials. Its pharmacists can answer questions about medications and minor health issues.
