CORNWALL, Ontario – The new-look Cotton Mill district in Cornwall continues to evolve, with the opening of a new pharmacy.
Situated on the ground floor of the newly revitalized Edison Building, the pharmacy overlooks the new breezeway that connects to the Weave Shed. Pharmacist Andrew Hanna and his wife Elizabeth have been working hard over the past several weeks to get ready for the opening.
“It has been hectic as the tradespeople have worked hard to make our space ready for us to move in,” said Hanna. “We could not be happier – the pharmacy is bright and modern, and situated in a building with such a powerful history.”
“On behalf of Cornwall city council, I would like to congratulate Mr. Hanna on his investment,” said Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy. “The addition of a pharmacy and medical offices will help pave the way for more commercial development in the historic Cotton Mill District.”
Hanna has welcomed George Soliman as a partner in the business. Soliman will be the pharmacy manager. The two plan to hire an additional six people as business increases.
“We are fully stocked and ready to serve the public,” said Soliman.
Hanna is also the owner and senior director of the future Cotton Mill Medical Center, which has now opened. Dr. Nathalie Menard has been appointed as a director of Cotton Mill Medical Center.
“Dr. Menard and I are both committed to provide the best possible health care to the community,” said Hanna.
“It’s been a absolute privilege to be working closely with Andrew in this new venture. He is a bright young pharmacist and I know he will take care of our community,” said Menard. “Andrew has established what Cornwall has been long overdue for, and with his energy I see great things.”
