Pharmacy expands

Construction has just been completed for the expansion of a pharmacy in Woy Woy to enable it to keep a wider range of product and create wider aisles for a better shopping experience.

The expansion of Kuoch Chemist took just over two weeks to complete and is now operating in the expanded area.

"We relocated from 1 Blackwall Rd to 43 Blackwall Rd in 2005," said Kuoch Chemist proprietor Mr Raymond Kuoch.

"With this relocation, we have roughly tripled our floor space.

"But as the business grew during the last five years, we found that the tripled floor space was still inadequate therefore we decided to expand into part of the Australia Post.

"This again roughly doubles our floor area," he said.

"This expansion will benefit the Peninsula greatly as we are able to provide a much wider range of product as well as keeping the price extremely competitive due to our volume of purchase," he said.

Kuoch Chemist, formally known as Woy Woy Pharmacy, was the first pharmacy in the district when it opened for business in 1921 and now specialises in baby, dental, vitamins and home health care products.
