McCauley Chemists was founded in 1953 by the late G.B. McCauley M.P.S.I. who acquired the Brooke Kelly Pharmacy at 21 Rafter Street, which operated as a Pharmacy since the early 1900’s. Over the next 35 years McCauley Chemists grew into a thriving enterprise. Sam McCauley and his wife Leslie, both Pharmacists, joined the family business in 1978 maintaining the well-established ‘family Chemist’ culture, long nurtured by Sam’s parents and staff.

Sam McCauley Chemists Group currently operates 23 stores nationally, with a strong presence in Counties Carlow, Cork, Dublin, Kerry, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow. The Group employs over 570 staff and has an annual turnover in excess of Euro 85M.
