Overview

Echo Drugs is a community-oriented pharmacy and specialty retail concept. We combine exceptional healthcare with a curated retail experience—think seasonal wellness, OTC, and design-driven displays that invite customers to linger and explore.

Role Overview

We’re seeking a creative, detail-obsessed Visual Merchandiser to bring our new flagship pharmacy to life. You’ll own everything from dramatic street-facing window buildouts to in-store merchandising that drives sales, tells a story, and reflects our brand aesthetic.
