This business was started in the 80's by a former long term Druggist and was passed on to a couple of owners. They transferred all customers to a local Walgreens. What what I understand they never said anything to the staff either. It was a small store front but busy place. Is this a sign of the times? At one time we had multiple places a competing with each other including a couple in the supermarkets. Walgreen bought RiteAid up the street and closed it. Funny thing the Walgreen building is listed.
