Chemist Warehouse, a leading global pharmacy retail chain, is delighted to announce the opening of its 9th Irish store, located in Westend Shopping Park, Blanchardstown, Dublin. This new milestone, set for this week, follows the successful launch of their first Irish store in the same shopping park in October 2020.
In a strategic move, Chemist Warehouse is relocating and expanding the original store, now occupying a prominent 10,000 square feet space at the former NIKE store in Westend. This expansion is a testament to the brand's growing popularity and commitment to providing accessible healthcare and pharmaceutical products at competitive prices.
Colin Galligan, CEO of Chemist Warehouse Ireland, comments, “Our expansion within Ireland reflects our commitment to bringing quality healthcare and affordable pharmaceutical products to more Irish customers. The new Blanchardstown store, with its increased space and central location, allows us to enhance our product offering, onboard new suppliers and elevate categories such as fragrance and beauty. With 40 dedicated staff members and three pharmacists on duty seven days a week, we are well-equipped to meet the healthcare needs of our community.”
This expansion was facilitated by Savills Ireland, who brokered the deal on behalf of Chemist Warehouse. The store's strategic location and extensive retail space are set to provide an enhanced shopping experience for customers.
Looking ahead, Chemist Warehouse plans to continue its growth in Ireland, with two more store openings scheduled for January 2024 in Artane North Dublin and Cork city centre. The company aims to open an additional 6-8 stores across various Irish locations in 2024.
Chemist Warehouse Group, operating over 500 stores in Australia, 50 stores in NZ and 7 stores in China and employing over 20,000 staff, prides itself on offering discounted prices for pharmaceutical goods, bringing a unique and affordable shopping experience to its customers.
