In the late 1940’s, after returning from War Service, Mr Peter Hart purchased the Pharmacy at 78 Goulburn Street, Crookwell and began trading as Peter Hart Pharmacy.  Mr Hart continued to run the Pharmacy for over twenty years until his death in 1970. After his passing, his wife Mrs Alice Hart continued to own and work in the pharmacy, however she required a Pharmacist-in-charge.

In 1971, having completed his Bachelor of Pharmacy a year prior, Mr Ken Wicks accepted this opportunity and moved to Crookwell from his home town of Temora, NSW.  During this time Mrs Hart also decided to make a  subtle change to the name of the Pharmacy, to its current title of Hart’s Pharmacy.

Mrs Hart and Ken continued to work under this arrangement until early in 1985 when it came time for Mrs Hart to retire. At this time Ken purchased the business from Mrs Hart, and chose to maintain the current name of Hart’s Pharmacy for two reasons; Ken and his family enjoyed a close relationship with Mrs Hart and her children, and the Hart’s business had formed an important part of Crookwell’s history for over 40 years, and Ken wanted to respect this by honouring and maintaining this name.

In 1999 the pharmacy was demolished and rebuilt with the pharmacy now having 3 times the store space, designed to meet the needs of Crookwell moving into the 21^st century. Some of the previous building’s original features, such as stained-glass windows and antique display cabinets were restored and now form important features of the renovated shop.

Ken has now been a practising Pharmacist for 48 years and his ownership of Hart’s Pharmacy went for over 34 years. During this time Ken has employed over 30 staff members that are local to Crookwell and its surrounding area before selling the pharmacy to new owner, Brydie McDonald in 2022.

We are proud sponsors of many local sporting teams and clubs including the Crookwell Green Devils Rugby League side. We proudly support the Crookwell area’s primary schools and the High School, the annual Crookwell Show and local festivals, and take part in many national and local charitable events throughout each year.
