Katz Group Inc. is a Canadian-owned privately held company started by Daryl Katz in 1990. Since the company’s inception, the story of Katz Group has become one of Canada’s and Edmonton’s most fascinating business stories. In just over 10 years, Katz Group went from purchasing franchise rights to Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Canada to having more than 1,800 pharmacies within its network, 1,500 of which are in Canada. Today, Katz Group is one of Canada’s largest privately owned companies.
