We place priority on customer relations, service and attention to our customer needs. We pride ourselves on being able to build relationships with our customers thus, we’re fondly known as  “the store with feelings“

The idea of starting a Pharmacy was germinated on the 22nd December 1963.
While having coffee with a university friend, at the Carousel restaurant which was situated in a circular building nestling next to the Sea Point Pavillion swimming pool, a night Pharmacy was suggested. I thought the name “Sunset” would be an appropriate name as we would open when the sun set. We walked up the road to find a “To Let” sign in the window of the building – Marine Mansions, and as they say… the rest is history.
Sunset Emergency Pharmacy was born on March the 10th 1964 with a  start up capital of R800. Our initial rental was R80 per month.

We opened doors at 6pm and closed at 1am. Our first night turnover was R5.29

During November 1964, we converted to a day and night Pharmacy, and shortly thereafter moved into the newly built Sea Point Medical Centre.

It was at this time while opening the store for a new day’s business, that a young girl, some sixteen years old, walked by on her way to school. I suggested to her, initially as a joke, that she should come back when she was 20 and I would marry her.
