ch. Tralee was founded by Patricia Chute and Fionàn Harty in 1967. Chute Harty Chemists subsequently became C.H Chemists.
Patricia was the Tralee Rose in the International Rose of Tralee Festival and she caught the eye of a young Fionàn Harty who operated a pharmacy in Rock Street. After the couple married they began to develop Patricia's own family business Chute's Chemists (in The Mall).
Patricia, a qualified beautician developed the beauty side of the business while Fionàn concentrated on the pharmacy side. The business developed over the years with the addition of their daughter Claire, an ophthalmic optician and their son Peter, a pharmacist.
Today Peter and Claire continue their parents ethos along with a talented team of forty four.
