Macy's pharmacy, Northcross Rd - under new management

[karter]

This was a one/two store owned business (to my knowledge) and guess who has bought it? Yes a chain, Lloyds pharmacy.

They seem to have many stores, is anybody familiar with what changes could take place here?

[Sue]

Oh no that's really sad - will the existing staff be staying?

[jimbo1964]

That's a real shame.

The Lloyds Pharamcy temporary signs were up about a week ago and the staff were wearing their uniform.

Same staff, same pharmacists.

[karter]

My hunch is that there will be some changes.

[KalamityKel]

For the better one would assume :))

As discussed on a previous thread I'm sure there's always room for improvement ;-)

[Sue]

Hmm, I would never assume changes are necessarily for the better :)

This was a quiet one, karter. The official paperwork changed some time back. The earliest I retained dates from 11 April.

What I do not know is who was the beneficial owner at the time of the campaign and petition against the Dulwich Medical Centre pharmacy.

[Not that I'm suggesting the dispensing of free lozenges.]

[karter]

macRoban, to my knowledge the petition was set up by Mr b, the pharmacist at Macy's then taken round by BARA but again i could be wrong. I don't think the pharmacist will be staying on, Michael.

I've always liked Macey's and had very good service there. Hope it continues that way.

It's really good for eco-friendly baby stuff. Hope that doesn't change.

Was in there at the weekend and noticed the staff were not as friendly as helpful as usual. The usual gaggle of German-looking girls seemed to be replaced by a Vicky Pollard-alike (lazy comparison I know) behind the till. Though I don't usually go in at the weekend so it may just be weekend staff.
