Pharmaca acquires Seattle pharmacy

SEATTLE Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy has acquired Morton’s Pharmacy in Seattle, a 46-year-old neighborhood store. The purchase is expected to be complete by the end of May and will bring Pharmaca’s store count to three in Seattle.

“I felt an obligation to sell to someone who would continue dedicated service to my loyal customers,” said Morton’s owner Bill McNary. “They [Pharmaca] are a good fit for this area of Seattle.”

Pharmaca, based in Boulder, Colo., opened its first store in Seattle in 2002 and a second in June 2007. The acquisition will give Pharmaca a total of 22 stores ranging from Seattle to Albuquerque, N.M.
