The Tigas logo

Tigas pronounced "tee-gas" is a banner group of independent pharmacies in Malaysia. Tigas was formed in 2004, with 20 stores. Tigas is situated in neighbourhood and suburb locations throughout the country. Each pharmacy is operated by qualified pharmacists who are available during pharmacy opening hours.

[edit] Store Profile

Tigas stores are typically owner-operated by the pharmacists themselves, each focusing on pharmacy community services in and around their local neighbourhoods.

Tigas stores services customers with drugs, over-the-counter (OTC) medications and fast moving consumer goods (FMCG).

[edit] The Story behind the Brand

The name "Tigas" is derived from "Tiga" in the Malay language (Bahasa Malaysia), meaning "three", and "S" is the acronym for Supply-chain stakeholders, symbolic of the three links in the pharmacy supply-chain: consumer, retail pharmacy and the brand owner.
