About this business
A large community pharmacy in central Portsmouth, trading since 2007 from a freehold building that is included in the sale. It dispenses a high volume of prescriptions and runs a wide range of counter services, from vaccinations to health checks. Turnover has grown each year, from £3.45m in 2021 to £5.2m, and EBITDA has risen to £682k. Margins are on the thinner side at about 13%, which reflects the dispensing-heavy mix. A team of 31 covers pharmacists, technicians, counter staff and drivers. A buyer takes on the building, a large settled team and a business that is still growing.
