A MUSSELBURGH chemist is set to change hands after a multi-million-pound deal.
The M&D Green Group, a pharmacy chain, has acquired nine community pharmacies from N.R. Gordon Ltd, including the Musselburgh branch.
The acquisition will see the number of pharmacies in the group rise to 42, employing 750 staff.
The Musselburgh branch, currently trading as Gordons Chemist, will be rebranded as M&D Green.
Martin Green, managing director of The M&D Green Group, said: "We are a family business that has grown across Scotland by serving local communities with the services they want and need.
"Gordons Chemist, which is a perfect fit for the M&D Green Group, has a well-established reputation of providing high-quality, professional healthcare to the patients and communities where their pharmacies are located.
"We will continue this good work and build upon the range of services offered and extend access to more patients."
The acquisition will see 100 staff from Gordons join the 650-strong workforce at M&D Green.
Mr Green said: "We look forward to introducing the 100 staff at Gordons into the 650-strong workforce at M&D Green and are certain our new colleagues will enjoy working in the M&D Green Group and will thrive in our learning culture, as we aspire to further develop a highly skilled workforce to deliver the future of community pharmacy as we continue to develop our NHS and private, clinical services including additional services like blood testing, travel clinics and hearing care."
