Pharmacy 777’s original owner, Ken Hurst (later mayor of the City of Melville), opened the first store at 777 Canning Highway – the address that lends its name to today’s family of stores.
In 1968 he took on Michael Dillon as a partner and the original store expanded, and then was replicated elsewhere as more partners joined the business - Greg MacKenzie in 1985, David Speak (1989) and Kim Brotherson (1992).
In 2019 the company expanded through a partnership with HBF, with 31 Friendlies pharmacies transferred the the Pharmacy 777 brand.
