Bishopdale Village Mall
Popular pharmacy
offers much more
than expected
As residents of Bishopdale and the
surrounding areas know, they can rely on
the friendly pharmacists and retail team at
Unichem Bishopdale Pharmacy for all their
pharmaceutical needs as well as health,
personal care and beauty products and
advice.
However, there is much more on offer at
this popular pharmacy, with one of their
key features being the extensive selection of
fashion scarves.
“We are well-known for our scarves
and we sell hundreds every month,” says
business owner Maria, who runs the
pharmacy in partnership with Amanda and
Anna.
“Our retail manager goes to three gift
fairs a year and sources the very latest in
colours and designs for our customers.
They are mostly one-offs, however there is
often the potential to re-order if a customer
misses out on a particular one they like.”
A number of the retail team members
have particular talents for colour matching,
and can help customers choose the
right scarf for their personal style and
colouring, and also show them different
ways to tie and wear scarves, Maria says.
Prices range from $11.99 up to $100 for
the most luxurious designs, with most of
the scarves priced around $20.
A new range of ponchos has arrived at
Unichem Bishopdale – just in time for
the cooler weather. Priced from $30 to
$120 these come in a variety of fabrics and
shades, including merino, and are a very
popular, easy-to-wear fashion item.
Another reason why customers keep
coming back to Unichem Bishopdale is
their extensive range of gift items.
“The feedback we get from people is that
they always seem to find what they want,
and in their price range,” Maria says.
Added to that is the complementary
gift-wrapping service, she says.
“Customers can walk in, find just what
they’re looking for, have it beautifully
gift-wrapped and walk out ready to go.”

Ma Baker - your local
Kiwi bakery
They say that if you want to know the
best place to find a great bakery, follow the
locals, and in Edgeware and Bishopdale,
you’ll find both the residents and those
working in the area are regularly heading
straight for Ma Baker.
Their yummy food options in-store can
be described as honest Kiwi tucker and
there’s something for everyone. Everything
is baked daily by their team of bakers, from
the fresh bread displayed in store which
is also used in their sandwiches and rolls,
to their delicious and so-moreish cream
cakes, scones and slices. It’s a perfect spot
to call in for lunch or afternoon tea with
friends, to share a cuppa and a cake with
someone special, or for tradies to fill up
on their large selection of pies, stuffed
sausages, toasties, buns and donuts, and
they can be comfortable knowing they are a
tradie/hi-vis/workboots-friendly bakery. It
is also a popular spot for business people to
hold casual weekly meetings.
When cooking a meal is too much after
a busy day, parents can select something
from their large deli-bars and take home
large-sized bacon and egg or family meat
pies or pizza breads with fruit pies to follow
– their budget-friendly prices mean that
take-out or eating out doesn’t need to be
a weekly treat any more. Their savoury
