A Columbus, Ohio-based healthtech startup is expanding to Arizona with a new pharmacy in Mesa that will create 200 new jobs.

Gifthealth announced Thursday it has opened the 43,000-square-foot pharmacy at 4008 S. Signal Butte Road in the Superstition Commerce Park.

The six-building, 970,643-square-foot Superstition Commerce Park was developed by Dalfen Industrial, which bought the land from Brookfield Residential in 2022 for $36.2 million, Maricopa County records show. The industrial park is located just a few miles south of Apple’s Global Operations Center.

Gifthealth’s Mesa pharmacy will incorporate robotic assisted processing of more than 28,000 medications per day. The company is also partnering with UPS and using a new RFID scanning and twin packaging technology that provides real-time order tracking and speeds up medication delivery time to patients, according to a company announcement.

“This grand opening is a pivotal moment in our mission to simplify and unify the entire patient prescription journey,” Chip Parkinson, CEO of Gifthealth, said in a statement. “The Mesa facility significantly enhances our national capacity, allowing us to deliver a fast, reliable, and truly frictionless experience to millions of patients who depend on us for their care.”
