Pharmacy property for sale

The premises formerly owned by the Moloney family has been put up for sale by its present owners.

The property, which is protected, was bought by Burkes Pharmacy in 2005 for a sum in the region of 1.3m euros. The Naas-based business already had an outlet on Hillcrest at the north end of town. The building was subsequently fitted out and opened as another pharmacy.

However, it closed after a short period of trading, during which a third pharmacy on that same short stretch of Kilcullen's streetscape was opened by Adrian Dunne. That enterprise also closed after a period, leaving the field back to Kilcullen's original long-established pharmacy, operated by Bernard Berney. He is currently redeveloping his business after buying the former Post Office building.

The Burkes property is being offered as a prime commercial opportunity.
