Our values
Independent on purpose, kosher-aware in everything we dispense, and unhurried with seniors and the caregivers who support them. Decisions are made at this counter, by people who will see you again next month.
About us · Bathurst & Baycrest
The North York pharmacy that knows your name.
Murray Shore Pharmacy has served the families of North York, Thornhill, and Toronto since 1983. Independent then, independent now: the same counter, the same phone number, and a pharmacist who picks it up.
Say hello: 416-789-1800
More than forty years on Bathurst
Since 1983, and still showing up.
-
1983
The doors open
Murray Shore Pharmacy opens at Bathurst and Baycrest: an independent pharmacy from day one, with a pharmacist at the counter and a phone that gets answered.
-
The years after
Compounding becomes a craft
The dispensary grows into custom compounding: strengths, forms, and flavours prepared for one person at a time, in partnership with their prescriber.
-
Generation to generation
Families come back
The children whose medicine we once flavoured return with children of their own. North York, Thornhill, and Toronto families, across generations, at the same counter.
-
Today
Same counter, more care
Pharmacist assessments, free local delivery, blister packs, and custom compounds. The services grew; the phone number and the welcome did not change.
Who we are
Get to know us, one story at a time.
What we do
Custom compounding, blister packs, free delivery, easy refills, prescription transfers, and pharmacist assessments. Each one exists so the medicine fits the person, not the other way around.
Part of the neighbourhood
We close Friday afternoon before Shabbos, stay closed through Sunday, and answer the ingredient questions that matter here, like gelatin sources. And if that is not part of your life, you are every bit as welcome.
The team
Benny is our pharmacist, and he reviews every clinical page on this site the way he reviews every prescription: carefully, and in person. The best introduction is still the one you get at the counter.
Visit us
Find us at 3537 Bathurst St in North York, open Mon to Thu 9 to 6 and Fri 9 to 3:30. We are closed Saturday and Sunday, and reopen Monday morning. Fax 416-789-2958.

Good to know
Is there parking nearby?
There is street parking on and around Bathurst Street near the store, and availability changes with the time of day. If mobility or parking is a concern, call us at 416-789-1800 before you come and we will suggest the easiest approach, or simply have your order delivered free.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during opening hours and speak with the pharmacist. For longer conversations, such as a full medication review, calling ahead helps us set aside unhurried time for you.
What languages do you speak?
English always, and depending on who is on shift, other languages as well. Call ahead and we will tell you who is in that day, or bring a family member along; either way, we take the time to make sure everything is understood.
How long have you been here?
Since 1983, at Bathurst and Baycrest, and independent the whole time. That is more than forty years of serving North York, Thornhill, and Toronto families from the same neighbourhood.
Your pharmacist is one call away.
