Welcome New Letterkenny Chamber Member, Brennans Pharmacy Letterkenny
We recently visited Brennans Pharmacy, at their new Letterkenny location – Unit 10 Forte Retail Park – (across from Costa, in the new Dunnes Stores Carpark) this being the fourth Donegal community that Brennans now serve, with their other pharmacies located at the heart of communities in Creeslough, Buncrana and Clonmany.
Fergus Brennan (Owner/Pharmacist) and Scott Duncan (Store Manager) kindly walked and talked us through their exceptional wellness, skincare and pharmacy products and services. The Letterkenny location perfectly reflects the Brennan’s Pharmacy Mission which is – to help you live life a healthier, happier life so that you can feel and look your best.
With wall to wall exclusive and predominantly Irish brands – across skincare, haircare, beauty and supplements, Scott shared a wealth of information on the backstory and meticulous research behind Brennan’s choice of brands and vision for helping you to feel well, stay well and look well. Scott and all of the Brennans team are experts on their ranges and products- which makes for a helpful and friendly experience.
A treat for the senses coming through the doors and being welcomed by the fresh, bright space and the aromas of sustainable, luxurious and effective brands such as Voya, Caudalie, Soak, Upcircle, Jo Browne, The Handmade Soap Company, Pestle and Mortar, Nunaia to name but a few – sitting alongside firm French skincare favourites such as Vichy and La Roche Posay.
There is a truly unique makeup selection in Brennans, stocking Art Deco an award-winning affordable luxury makeup brand and also T. LeCerc – an iconic brand founded in 1881 by Théophile LeClerc, a visionary pharmacist and beauty lover who invented the first rice starch powder in the heart of Paris. Brennans are the only Irish/UK stockist of this bestselling French brand.
Wellness continues with the supplement range ‘Nutriburst’ gummies for the entire family, as well as Irish favourite ‘Revive Active’ – for the fitness community there are also ‘Optimum Nutrition’ Protein products in store, and ‘Dr Vegan’ an innovate Vegan friendly protein supplement brand unique to Brennans. A stand out range is the ‘Dr Clare Apothecary’ products, Dr Dilis Clare is a GP & Medical herbalist now based in Galway blending these bespoke blends for her customers in tincture blends, creams, capsules, teas and sprays since 1999.
With an extensive yet carefully curated range of haircare (‘Joico’,‘Phyto’) men’s grooming (beard care), baby care as well as pharmacy services inclusive of but not limited to – dispensing chemist, blood pressure checks, emergency contraception, flu vaccinations, blister pack service, passport/ID photos and photo printing.

Brennans want to make it easy for their Letterkenny patients and customers – with easy prescription transfer by healthmail from your GP, easy central location and easy free parking with 600 car parking spaces at their door.
Speaking to Fergus, who has been a pharmacist for 38 years and a pharmacy owner for 32 years – it was clear that the Letterkenny location is close to his heart, it being based in the community he calls home and has raised his family in. It’s important to Fergus to collaborate with the business community and to play an active, supportive role at the centre of the wider Letterkenny community.
Fergus was keen to create local employment with his locally based team (pictured) bringing in Colleen Quigley, Supervising Pharmacist with 14 years of experience – the team in Brennans Letterkenny includes retail supervisor Clare O Donnell, Healthcare Advisor Ashley Kelly, Retail Co-ordinator Paul McMullan, and Pharmacy Assistant Matt O’Rourke.
