  Mercury Drug was set up by Mariano Que in 1945, soon following the liberation of Manila in japan occupation.
  Mr. Que finally opened his first store in Bambang on March 1, 1945.
  He selected the name and picture of the messenger and god of commerce in Roman mythology, Mercury, as his shop's name and symbol to symbolize his institution's vow to deliver quality, safe and affordable medicines faster and nearer to the people.
  Certainly this was the nature that inspired Mr. Que to begin Mercury Drug. And through time, the spirit of service hasn't wavered.
  Every year, Mercury Drug proceeds to serve individuals, dedicated to its title and its business philosophy of absolute and swift customer service: "to have what you would like, where you desire it, whenever you desire it, the way you would like it."
  The business began in 1945 with a single drugstore owned by Mariano Que. The store began cutting packed, bulk items into single pieces and selling them individually; this practise is colloquially called tingi-tingi in Filipino.
  And he did fulfill that vow.
  Now, it has developed into a vast network of close to 900 stores nationwide.
  Mercury Drug believes it owes its success to the millions of consumers who've trusted and patronized the pharmacy chain throughout the years and to the professionalism and commitment of its over 11,000 personnel.
  Mercury Drug has evolved from being only a pharmacy to a health and wellness shop offering a full complement of healthcare services to help promote healthy lifestyles and improve the quality of life of Filipinos.
  Mercury Drug takes pride in the debut of many firsts in the pharmacy retail company - all in an effort to please, meet and further serve the people.
  It pioneered the motorized customer delivery service in 1948 and longer hours of store service, with a service introduced in 1952 that developed to the 24-hour service in 1965. Nowadays, more than 100 Mercury Drug stores are open 24 hours. Thumbnail contains further about when to consider it. It released the theory in drugstore selling in 1963 in its first Makati shop. In 1967, it installed the country's first computerized temperature-controlled central warehouse and in 1969, it became the first pharmacy chain to use biological refrigerators in all its shops to maintain life-saving medicines. In 2012, it released the first drive thru pharmacy service within the state in its Ortigas, San Juan shop. Several other 'firsts' in pharmacy retail service were introduced through the years.
  "For being the pioneering spirit behind health and wellness retail industry and for spurring an industry that makes sure that high quality medicines are almost always available within reach of Filipinos regardless of age or economic class," Mr. Mariano Que was honored in January 2012 as the Father of Philippine Health and Wellness Retailing by the Philippine Retailers Association and Department of Trade & Business.
  Upon the invitation of Ayala Corporation, Mercury Drug opened its second division in-may 1963 at a building commercial centre in Makati now called the Ayala Center.
  In 1965, its landmark branch was established by Mercury Drug by Plaza Miranda, Quiapo, Manila, that is notable for its big outdoor LED screen.
  Mercury Drug opened a fresh building, MDC100, in Eastwood City, Quezon City.
