The female-dominated pharmacy is encouraging women to not to put off getting screened for breast cancer regularly.
"It may just save your life," Tim Koerstz pharmacist Candice Holland said.
"We want to empower women to be strong, know the signs, and if there is something, get onto it early."
Ms Holland said they hoped to also raise awareness on the day to both men and women to keep up with regular testing, and to reach out to their local chemist for help.
The Pharmacy sold biscuits, jewellery, pens, lollie bags and scrunchies, as well as providing information and resources regarding breast cancer, as well as cancer in general.
"Women ages 50-74 are encouraged to have a mammogram every two years," Mrs Holland said.
"And, here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them."
