Back in June, I wrote a blog post about the opening of the new discount chemist in Surry Hills.
As I noted at the time, it’s not as if we’re short of chemist shops in my neighbourhood. Within two or three minutes walk from my home, we already have three. Perhaps prophetically, I commented at the time “I hope they don’t suffer as the much larger discount chemist has moved in.”
Two months later, and I spotted the “For Lease” sign on the chemist closest to the new discount warehouse.
I think I once counted nine chemists in Bondi Junction, including at least alone in the Westfield Bondi Junction. Interestingly, since I made that count I notice two of those in Westfield are still active albeit with significantly reduced floor space.
