Categories: Pharmacy Retail Media • In-Store DOOH • Australia Quick take: TerryWhite Chemmart will roll out 200 digital screens across 100 pharmacies by early 2026, expanding its TWC Connect retail media network—placing screens in high-traffic areas like front-of-store and near the dispensary, with plans to grow broader across its store base.

Why pharmacy screens are a premium environment
Pharmacies combine a rare set of advantages that many retail environments can’t replicate:
Trust-based settings (people arrive with a health mindset)
High-intent visits (the mission is clear: refill, remedy, essentials)
Repeat frequency (refills + routine shopping patterns)
That mix makes the environment attractive for both endemic categories (health, pharmacy, wellness)
and non-endemic categories (CPG, services, broader wellness) when messaging fits the context.
Context advantage: In pharmacy, attention isn’t passive—people are already in “solve a problem” mode.
Why this expansion matters
This isn’t “digital signage.” It’s retail media infrastructure—built to sell placements repeatedly, with standardized inventory and more predictable reach.
When a retailer commits to a consistent rollout plan and screen placement logic, it becomes a network buyers can plan against like any other media channel.
What to watch in 2026
Placement quality: front-of-store vs near dispensary vs other zones
Its TWC Connect retail media network, including a rollout of 200 in-pharmacy screens across 100 pharmacies by early 2026, with broader growth ambitions across its store base (as reported).
In high-traffic areas such as front-of-store zones and near the dispensary, where shopper flow and attention are naturally concentrated (as described in coverage).
Pharmacies combine trust-based settings, high-intent visits, and repeat frequency from refills and routine trips—creating a strong context for both health brands and broader CPG/wellness/services.
Because it signals infrastructure, not signage—inventory designed to be sold repeatedly with standardized placements, predictable reach, and an operational model similar to a media network.
Clear, compliance-safe messaging focused on reassurance, utility, and simple actions—especially for wellness and household categories—aligned to the calm, trust-first context of pharmacies.
