Sure, it's a chain but there are a number of things marking this particular outpost out from its brother and sister stores and making this quite possibly the best chemist in Northcote. For beauty products, you can't go past this Chemist Warehouse. Stocking drugstore mainstays such as Maybelline, Revlon and Rimmel alongside the occasional item by Calvin Klein's beauty line, and haircare by not just Dove and Loreal but more premium brands such as KMS and Joico as well, Chemist Warehouse punches far above its sometimes cheap and cheerful reputation. This particular Chemist Warehouse also stocks a good range of organic beauty products from brands such as Trilogy and Kosmea as well as deservedly cult lines including Invisible Zinc and French favourite Avène. For Northcote beauty junkies there is none better.

It's a pretty big, well-lit pharmacy in a corner space at the QV Centre by the food court…read more Obviously a good place to pick up a prescription and other medical supplies, but also well merchandised with lots of skincare and beauty products. The staff are really friendly and helpful when you need them. On my last visit though, not a single staff member approached me or even acknowledged my existence. They were very busy though so I wasn't too put out by this. It just would've been nice to have someone around who could've directed me to the right shelf to find what I needed instead of having to wander around the whole pharmacy to find one thing.

The pharmacist and his assistant were just too polite and helpful, to the point where being not so well may be a good thing; even though you don't want that to happen too frequently. The generic variety of the antibiotics they sell represents great value for money unlike some generic medicines you can buy at some other pharmacies that dissolve into your mouth before you even have a chance to swallow them; kind of giving you that murky, yucky feeling in your mouth. A chemist isn't a place you would want to frequent too frequently; however if I ever needed to go to the chemist again - for heavens sake not too soon if at all; this establishment would be my next destination without re-thinking my decision. You want confidence in pharmacies as they contribute to your recovery from a major or minor illness to some degree; and you want trust as well as you are handing over your private details to them in order to get your medicine dispensed. A great business overall.

Additionally, it's located at a convenient and central location - Melbourne Central, which makes for needing to go to the chemist not a massive chore, but a day out instead. Customer Service: The staff is here is AMAZINGLY friendly. I spoke with a chemist regarding my issues and she was so helpful with recommending to me what I needed, especially since I was feeling pretty clueless. She explained to me the product and was happy to answer all of my questions. Not to mention Priceline's affordability, combined with the great staff makes for a great shopping experience!

Sole Devotion features shoes from 3 international designers: Camper (Spain), Trippen (Germany) and John Fluevog (Canada). Each shoe is beautifully made with quality materials and they all sit along little ledges up the wall of the store. Whether they are black and white brogues or vibrant orange clogs Sole Devotion have you covered. Just check out the different shoes and then flag down a sales assistant to help you out. There's a long cushioned bench in the middle of the store where you can have a seat, and even though the store can get very busy at times all the sales assistants are brilliant. Not only are they friendly, but their speed and efficiency astonishes me when the store is bursting with eager shoppers. If crowds aren't your thing then maybe try and avoid the weekends; there are always people around but its less likely you'll be distracted from some great shoe shopping.
