A town centre’s only pharmacy has reopened after it was issued with a bailiff notice.

Jhoots Pharmacy, in Rainham Shopping Centre, told its customers it would be closed until further notice at the end of last week.

A notice from Parkinson Bailiff Services Limited was seen in the window of the unit stating it is doing so under the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 and the shop was shut.

However, the pharmacy has since reopened today (Monday, October 21) - although it is still not known why the branch was closed.

It was not the first time the independent pharmacy chain has faced enforcement action by bailiffs.

In April, a repossession notice was spotted in the window of Jhoots, which had opened in the former Lloyds Pharmacy.

It read: “Under the terms and conditions of your rental agreement or lease, we as acting agents and with the authority of your landlord have today entered these demised premises and have served notice and have taken possession.

“No unauthorised persons are permitted entry into these premises and any attempt to do so will result in criminal proceedings being instigated against you.”

A week later, it had relocated and opened within the former Boots unit in the shopping precinct where it had been operating its services since.

Jhoots Pharmacy has not responded to KentOnline’s requests for comment.
