Lloyds Pharmacy has doubled its retail space in St Ives to 1,300 sq ft by taking over an adjacent shop previously occupied by for 28 years by a laundrette, in Ramsey Road, King Hedge’s.

Jonathan Lager of the letting agents, Robinson Lager, said: “This is a thriving neighbourhood shopping precinct and this additional shop will allow Lloyds Pharmacy to significantly expand its business in the area.

“To keep everything tidy, legally, we negotiated a new lease for Lloyds on both shops.”
