Hearing tonight that Sam MaCuleys is closing down with all staff being made redundant, reason is due to rent being to high and not enough income to balance the books.

Have a day of will ye. In the space of 10 posts the thread went from a chemist closing down to an economic apocalypse.

so true, typical reaction on here, no doubt we have our issues and obviously a mare for those involved but this overreaction stuff is so common, run for your lives or hairbrained comments.

The (give my regards to) Broad Street shop was big, too big arguably. They've got Boots just a stones throw away who are a massive chain.

The Ring Road effect also probably strikes again, if you can go to a McAuleys at Williamstown Centre or visit Ardkeen, Kings Meadow etc then why would you traipse into the centre and fight for pay parking?

To be honest the closure is more due to the fact that there is an abundance of chemists in the city now, Tesco all have one now in-store, you have them in Ardkeen, Lisduggan, etc.

There is so much competition that the profit margins are slim, then you add rates, rents and the wrong type of footfall in that area, (young families and tourists) who are going to enter a chemist specifically for that reason.

The reason it is closing down is that there are too many chemists in the area, that is all. That unit will be filled quickly.

And I'll say it again! Unless the WCC redevelop old city urban areas with a more
modern styled developments this will not be the only closure. The city centre needs new and young blood to re-energise it.

You are also forgetting about the lack of disposable income that people have in Waterford. Waterford was ravaged by the recession and we are still slowly coming out of it.

Would modern style developments not be the city square expansion, planned michael st and north quays. The €19 million redevelopment of the city centre urban areas and redevelopment of the viking triangle?

Not good to hear, big unit in a prominent location. And good few staff working there too, bad news If true

A Pharmacy not making shed loads of money? Shurely some mistake? Be interested to know what the rents are.
