In 1921, Leon Koffler began the story of Koffler Drug Stores. In 1941, his son Murray Koffler inherited the two drug stores, called "Koffler's Drugs"; by 1962, Koffler's had grown to a chain of 17 pharmacies, which Murray then renamed "Shoppers Drug Mart" in the 1970s. During the 1970s, Koffler visited Israel; following this visit, he decided to set up a chain similar to his one in Canada. Co-founded with his son Leon and daughter Theo. The first Super-Pharm pharmacy was opened in the Neve Amirim neighbourhood of Herzliya, Israel in 1979.[1]
Theo Koffler, co-founder and VP, focused on the cosmetic marketing and strategic operational planning.

Two years later, they opened a second pharmacy in Jerusalem; 1985 saw the opening of a Super-Pharm branch in the Ayalon shopping mall, which was their first location in a shopping mall.
