CWH grows footprint

DISCOUNT giant, Chemist Warehouse (CWH), is continuing to expand its footprint beyond Australia, opening its second outlet in Ireland this week.

The new pharmacy opened its doors on Henry Street, in Dublin’s northern inner city.

Despite opening its first store during the Emerald Isle’s COVID-19 lockdown, CWH Director, Mario Tascone, reported the pharmacy in the north-west Dublin suburb of Blanchardstown (PD 27 Oct 2020), has thrived, having received a warm welcome from customers, with the company filling a “void in the Irish retail space”.

“We are thrilled to open the doors to our second European store today and provide our Irish customers with our top-notch customer service and unbeatable everyday low prices on a huge range of high-quality product,” Tascone said.

“Since opening our first store in Ireland in 2020, we have already served a whopping 150,000 customers despite Ireland being in lockdown for six of the eight months since opening.”

The two Irish stores add to CWH’s 450 pharmacies across Australia, 24 in New Zealand and four outlets in China.

Tascone said the Irish stores would focus on delivering accessible, high-quality product at low prices, stocking leading Australian brands alongside local European product offerings across the health, wellness, beauty, baby, cosmetics and fragrance categories.
