Heatons have closed (Feb 14) and moved to Centrepoint.

Anybody looking forward to the new Boots, and how will it have an impact on the other chemists in town?

Nope.

According to the Roscommon Healrd, it isnt coming at all. They contacted Boots and they said they have no plans to open here.

i dont think that local chemist are unduly worried about boots because they are ready to try and take over the new chemist shop that is planned for the medicall centre
not very ethicall like the one in castlebar:D

Is there really any need for another chemist in Roscommon town ??

Eireann

from what i heard, the old heatons building is still up for letting. Sure there's been loads of rumours - i heard boots, the post office and bank of ireland!

Lunaarli

Just heard Boots is coming to Roscommon town?!?!

Is it true?

Where abouts?

I spend every last weekend of the month with my dad in Ros town, didn't see any sign of Boots opening?

Roscommon has so many chemists though, I don't know how they will stay open.

I seen an advert for a pharmacist for this new store - does anyone know if any store positions been advertised????

Lunaarli

I'm wondering too, I only saw probably what you saw http://www.irishjobs.ie/Recruiters/Boots-Retail-Ireland-Ltd-1943.aspx

No one I know in Ros has heard of any retail positions advertised?!

bijou

Yep - that's what I saw...........
I know you can register with them and be sent details of positions coming up but not seen anything for any "other" staff advertised for Roscommon though.... Very odd.

They are supposed to be opening up in Ballina Co Mayo as well. Cannot see why there is a need for so many chemists in these small towns.

It's not as big as the one's in Dublin, don't think it does the meal deals either, was in last week and don't remember seeing them. The location of the store is odd given that they're a few doors away from a well established pharmacy, but time will tell.

IIts very small and not the best for stuff either. Athlone one still has moremore
