Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of Clarkes Pharmacy in Newtownhamilton.
Clarkes is a busy community pharmacy that sits completely unopposed in the south Armagh, dispensing an average of 7,350 NHS items per month.
It benefits from a modern fit-out and being within walking distance of two GP surgeries.
The pharmacy has been owned by Aidan Hughes for the last 20 years and was brought to market to allow him to retire.
Following a confidential sales process with Karl Clezy at Christie & Co, it has been sold to Paul McGimpsey, a first-time buyer from the Armagh area.
Paul McGimpsey, the new owner of Clarkes Pharmacy, commented: “I am delighted to be able to take over a pharmacy that is a well-established and integral part of the local area. I look forward to building on the good work of the previous owners by developing the services provided and getting to know my new patients.”
Karl Clezy, Director – Pharmacy at Christie & Co, added: “This was a quick sale process, with several offers received after six weeks on the market and then the legal process lasted three months. This was another sale to a first-time buyer, which we are seeing more frequently now in Northern Ireland, with another soon to complete to a first-time buyer in Belfast.”
Clarkes Pharmacy was sold for an undisclosed price.
