Overview
Great Tree Pharmacy (大樹連鎖藥局) is a Taiwanese chain pharmacy headquartered in Taoyuan. Its origins trace to 1993, when the predecessor store 'Neili No. 1 Pharmacy' (內壢一藥局) was opened in Taoyuan by pharmacist Liu Yu-teng, who practiced there personally. As competition among chain pharmacies intensified, Liu sought a new niche and brought in his brother Cheng Ming-lung, who came from a chain real-estate background, to help transform the business. That transformation grew into Great Tree Pharmacy, which today describes itself as the largest chain pharmacy in Taiwan. The company positions itself as a trusted health partner, guided by a service philosophy of 'sincerity and professionalism' and the mission of 'creating healthier lives for customers and more successful lives for partners.' Its stores provide prescription dispensing, infant formula and diapers, nutritional supplements, and medical devices, serving customers from young children to seniors as a full-service community health guardian. According to its official brand introduction, Great Tree Pharmacy operates more than 431 stores across Taiwan. Beyond retail, Great Tree Pharmacy collaborates with health authorities and professional associations on public-health programs, including family medication check stations, community pharmaceutical services, campus and workplace medication-safety education, tuberculosis treatment programs, HIV harm-reduction, tobacco control, campus anti-drug campaigns, and chronic-disease continuous prescription release promotion. It also offers internship opportunities to pharmacy students from various universities, framing these activities as part of its corporate social responsibility. The chain also runs a hearing center (大樹聽力中心) that publishes educational content on hearing loss, tinnitus, and hearing aids, and it maintains a membership service and LINE@ channel. Its website features online DM circulars, free prescription pickup messaging, and health education through '大樹小學堂.' The brand has also issued anti-fraud statements warning customers about scams. Great Tree Pharmacy is identified in Wikidata as a Taiwanese pharmacy chain.
History
Great Tree Pharmacy's history begins with a single pharmacy. In 1993, pharmacist Liu Yu-teng opened the predecessor store 'Neili No. 1 Pharmacy' (內壢一藥局) in Taoyuan, practicing personally. At that time, Taiwan's pharmacy sector was increasingly dominated by chain operators, and independent pharmacies faced mounting competitive pressure. Seeking a new niche, Liu brought in his brother Cheng Ming-lung, who had a background in chain real estate, to collaborate on a transformation. That partnership evolved into Great Tree Pharmacy, which grew into a multi-store chain. Over the following decades, the chain expanded across Taiwan. By the time of its official brand introduction, Great Tree Pharmacy reported more than 431 stores nationwide, making it the largest chain pharmacy in Taiwan by store count as described by the company. Its service model broadened from prescription dispensing to include infant formula and diapers, nutritional supplements, and medical devices, positioning itself as a full-age community health guardian. Alongside commercial growth, Great Tree Pharmacy built a public-service profile. It has worked with the Department of Health (now the Ministry of Health and Welfare), the Taoyuan County Health Bureau, the National Pharmacists Association, the Taoyuan Pharmacists Association, and local health authorities on programs such as family medication check stations, community pharmaceutical services, campus and workplace medication-safety promotion, tuberculosis treatment programs, HIV harm-reduction, tobacco control, campus anti-drug education, and chronic-disease continuous prescription release. It also provides internships for pharmacy students from various universities. In recent years, the brand has extended into hearing care through its Great Tree Hearing Center, publishing educational articles on hearing loss, tinnitus, and hearing aids. It maintains a membership program and a LINE@ channel, distributes online DM circulars, and promotes free prescription pickup with full medication stocking under National Health Insurance cooperation. The company has also issued anti-fraud statements to protect customers from scams. Wikidata records Great Tree Pharmacy as a Taiwanese pharmacy chain.
