About Us
Our History
Broadway Pharmacy has come a long way since its humble beginnings way back in 1958.
Located in the heart of Durban North, on Swapo Road (formerly Broadway), the site originally housed Miller's Pharmacy, owned by Les Miller. The pharmacy was sold in 1975 to Bill Stevens and became the Broadway Pharmacy we know today. Bill and Joy ran the emergent pharmacy for 10 years before selling it to their son, Craig, in 1985.
Under Craig and Wendy Stevens the pharmacy flourished and became one of the leading independent pharmacies in KwaZulu Natal. Craig ensured the pharmacy remained at the top of its game through every aspect of the business, aiming to provide the best experience to each customer.
In 2026 Craig and Wendy Stevens decided to sell the pharmacy. As of 1 August 2026 the pharmacy is now owned by Alpha and has been re-named Alpha Broadway Pharmacy.
Justifiably proud of the company's solid reputation for personal service and willingness to go the extra mile to make a customer's experience smooth and hassle-free, you'll find the team always able and willing to help, bringing together years of experience and dedicated service at the pharmacy.
Dispensary
The dispensary offers a fast track counter where customers can pre-order their scripts and medication and simply walk in to collect without having to stand in the dispensary queue.
Customers can pre-order their medication using our website, WhatScript (Bitti), or simply, WhatsApp.
- Upload your script under our services tab allows customers to upload their scripts from the doctor's office, which then sends it straight to our emails.
- Customers can register for WhatScript to get a reminder when it is time for their repeat medication (and opt to get it packaged) and ready for collection.
- WhatsApp allows customers to get medical advice and submit scripts and orders for them to collect when ready.
- Customers can also opt to pay by Zapper beforehand for a smoother in-store experience.
Clinic & Services
The in-house clinic is well supported by the community and offers services ranging from baby wellness to cholesterol screening to HIV counselling. The clinic also offers ear irrigation, trauma and post-op wound care, and Know-Your-Numbers screenings.
