Starlite Pharmacy Announces Closure of South Park Branch

Starlite Pharmacy has announced the closure of its South Park branch in San Fernando, describing the move as a strategic business decision tied to the company’s longer-term development plans.

In a public notice, Starlite said the decision forms part of a broader initiative aimed at better aligning its operations with its Vision 2030 business development strategy and long-term growth objectives.

The company did not provide further details in the notice about what specifically prompted the decision or what its future plans are for the South Park operation.

The branch is located at South Park Mall on Michael Rahael Boulevard in San Fernando. Starlite’s website currently lists the location among its pharmacy operations, alongside branches at Maraval, East Gates Mall and Four Roads, Diego Martin.

Starlite has operated in Trinidad and Tobago since 1996, beginning in the retail pharmacy sector before expanding its business interests. According to the company, the wider Starlite Group has developed brands and operations spanning health, beauty, wellness, food and other areas.

The South Park location has previously been part of Starlite’s wider presence in the San Fernando area. In 2018, two other Starlite Group businesses at South Park — Starlite Collection and Nova Coffee — were closed after the company cited economic conditions and foreign-exchange challenges at the time. Those earlier closures are separate from the newly announced pharmacy decision.

Starlite’s latest statement frames the pharmacy closure as part of a broader restructuring and growth strategy rather than providing details of any immediate financial or operational difficulties.

Further information on the company’s Vision 2030 plans, including whether resources or services from the South Park branch will be transferred to other locations, was not outlined in the announcement.
