Willand Pharmacy, Devon

Day Lewis Pharmacy

Christie + Co valued 500 pharmacy businesses in 2011 — a similar number to the previous year. Valuation projects in 2011 included several to support Day Lewis Pharmacy, the UK’s largest independent pharmacy chain, in its new store programme.

Christie + Co sold the freehold of this mid-Devon village pharmacy on behalf of the Joint Administrators at Begbies Traynor. Its new owners were presented with a business that both continued to trade well and offered great potential.

Outwood Pharmacy, Wakefield

The leasehold to a pharmacy in a busy Yorkshire location was also sold by Christie + Co in 2011. The Outwood Pharmacy in Wakefield was run entirely by locums and staff and is within a short distance of five GP practices so offers the new owner the potential to significantly improve trading performance.
