Hassan Karnib, Pharmacist-owner of Blooms The Chemist Wareemba, started as a student Pharmacist in the network and has felt continuously backed by Blooms Support Office and team members since the first day.
“I feel like I’ve found my kind of people,” said Hassan.
“From pharmacy assistants and other Pharmacists to our Support Office, everyone works to support each other.”
Hassan opened his first Blooms pharmacy in Wareemba in 2023, with the assistance of the Blooms The Chemist Support Office, and mentoring from experienced Pharmacists in the network, including his business partner, Andrew Ioannou.
“I was able to get advice and help about anything I needed, from marketing to finance. The real difference with Blooms is their Support Office, in addition to regular conferences and partner meetings.
“Through these, I was able to speak to real people and get expert advice from others, as well as bounce ideas off each other,” said Hassan.

Hassan is one of the 82 per cent of pharmacy owners at Blooms that believe the Support Office acts in the best interests of their business [1].
“I feel lucky to have found a network that’s united by the same values to provide great service and healthcare to the local community,” continued Hassan.
A well-connected community was fundamental to Hassan when beginning his ownership journey, especially with a network of like-minded people with a shared purpose.
With his Wareemba pharmacy in its third year of operation, Hassan’s confidence and knowledge continues to grow significantly as an owner through experience, ongoing mentorship, and training and development opportunities.
