Community pharmacy with its freehold shop in central Southampton

About this business

A city-centre community pharmacy in Southampton, opened in 2023 and run by a team of 5. Most of the work is dispensing repeat prescriptions for people who live and work nearby, with over-the-counter medicines, health advice and walk-in services at the counter alongside. Turnover has held at about £820k a year since opening, while EBITDA has risen each year to £150k as buying and rotas were tightened. The freehold of the shop is part of the sale, so a buyer owns the premises outright instead of paying rent. The pharmacy could move if a buyer wished, though its current spot brings a good flow of passing trade.

Key investment highlights

  • Freehold shop included in the sale
  • EBITDA up from £114k to £150k since 2023
  • Turnover steady at around £820k
  • Passing trade from a city-centre street

Reason for sale

The owner is selling to concentrate on a larger pharmacy she runs elsewhere in Hampshire.
