Launched March 2004, (MALIN+GOETZ)’s Chelsea store, while modern in every way, is similar to traditional neighborhood apothecaries of years past: full of activity, wonderful treatments, and great customer service. Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz waited on each customer themselves for the first three years and still live in Chelsea around the corner from the store, similar to chemists 100 years ago. Our wholesale operation, shipping and packing, all happened from behind this store-until we outgrew this space. And, of course, our bulldogs, Bob and Junior, became neighborhood (and international) superstars as passers-by stopped to photograph the "dogs in the window".
In 2007, we moved our wholesale operations, and our dogs, to our offices and warehouse on West 29th Street, just walking distance from our original shop. The Chelsea Apothecary was expanded to include a perfumery area where the office once was.
In 2010, we opened our second Manhattan apothecary on the UWS at 455 Amsterdam Avenue at West 82nd Street. Our third and fourth stores, located in 238 N. Larchmont Boulevard, Los Angeles, and 1270 Madision Avenue, NYC, opened in 2012 and 2013,
Our two latest locations, located in Downtown LA and Santa Monica, will open their doors in early 2015.
