All pre-ordered prescriptions were immediately transferred to a nearby CVS pharmacy.
The exact reason for Culmore’s closure has yet to be revealed.
However, Kris Lathan, a spokesman for Walgreens, suggested the company consider “several factors” when making such an important decision.
Lathan noted that local market dynamics and patient and customer buying trends are thoroughly examined.
“As we grow as a leader in healthcare, we are focused on best meeting the needs of patients and customers in the communities we serve by creating the right network of stores in the right locations,” he said. -he explains.
In recent years, Walgreens has closed about 750 stores, but it still operates about 9,000 stores nationwide.
Recent reports indicate that CVS and Walgreens are closing in several cities across the country this month.
Walgreens is expected to close another location this week in Orlando, Florida.
There was also at least one CVS pharmacy closure each week in March.
