Phar-Mor launches its e-retail site powered by HealthCentral.com


Phar-Mor Inc., the discount drugstore chain, has launched its web site powered HealthCentral.com. The store—PharMorWebRx.com--will feature over 25,000 products. HealthCentral.com is a supplier of healthcare e-commerce through WebRx.com, and health content through HealthCentral.com and RxList.com.

The store`s features include specialty stores that allow shoppers to find everyday products quickly, an automatic re-order feature that conveniently remembers shoppers` regular purchases, and an information center featuring more than 90 topics and the latest health news from Dr. Dean Edell.

Phar-Mor`s corporate web site, PharMor.com, will promote PharMorWebRx.com. PharMor.com also features Phar-Mor`s complete online prescription service, answers to popular pharmacy and vitamin questions, and other news and health care information.

The new site also will feature:
* PillBot.com, an unbiased database that allows shoppers to easily find and compare prices for hundreds of prescription drugs. Phar-Mor`s E-Pharmacy will match the lowest U.S. pharmacy price on any drug or medication and delivers directly to consumers in 47 states.
* "Ask Our Pharmacist," an online area designed to help consumers get professional, confidential answers to their prescription drug and health questions, and "Ask our Vitamin Specialist," which allows consumers to get answers to questions about nutritional supplements and other vitamin-related questions.
* Phar-Mor Lens, for contact lens and lens care supplies.

Phar-Mor says it will aggressively market the new online store and revamped Web site in ad circulars and throughout the Phar-Mor retail network. The company will feature the new URL on prescription and shopping bags, receipts, in-store signage, and in promotions on its in-store radio network.
