BOSTON — A major drugstore chain is shutting down another location in Boston in just a matter of days and people who live in the area are concerned that they are now living in a “pharmacy desert.”
The Walgreens at 416 Warren Street in Roxbury will shut its doors for good come Martin Luther King Jr. Day, becoming the chain’s fourth city location to close in a little over a year.
In late 2022, Walgreens suddenly shuttered locations in Mattapan, Hyde Park, and on Washington Street in Roxbury.
Some Boston City Councilors have blasted the company for closing stores in predominantly Black, Brown, and working-class communities.

As long as the cigars are not flavored, especially not menthol, as that is being banned.
exactly my thoughts.
I was going to say... *Here’s an idea. Stop robbing the stores.*
They bring this on themselves.
One of the most racist cities in the country.
This will push $$ to the online pharms, like Optum. Same mechanism as theft and auto-checkouts pushing $$ to Amazon.
I’ve quit using the nearby CVS ‘cause they got rid of their checkout clerks and expect me to scan my purchases.
Nope. I don’t work for CVS. So, I go to Walgreens or RiteAid, instead.
Was everything locked in a cabinet aside from sun block?

Politicians have a great solution for stores that are closing due to rampant theft.
From the article:
“San Francisco Supervisor Dean Preston introduced legislation Tuesday demanding Safeway reconsider its plan to close a grocery store in the Western Addition. Last week, the store announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell the land to a real estate company.”
They told us that Trump and his supporters are facists. Now do you believe them?? Huh? Huh? Now don’t you see they are right? /s
You brought it on yourselves.
Africans like Africa.
Conservatives’ saving grace is that the LEFTISTS never ever think things through before enacting their marxist policies
Maybe Boston should think twice before electing woke marxists to be mayor and city councilors?? You voted for it, now embrace the suck, morons
2 month supply of Eliquis blood thinner(120 pills) was $1400 at CVS and everywhere else, Amazon without insurance is $550, online was $122!!!

Its funny how the “black and brown” communities can’t and won’t support the black and brown communities.
Wonder why that is. /sarc
Thank you. I have been searching for years for a site like this.

The likely place will be at hospitals...mail order not required, but security is.
There is another one 20 minutes from there. 10 minutes on a bicycle. 5 minutes in a car.
They don’t want the cops in their neighborhoods, but won’t take action to police themselves. They know who the troublemakers are, but won’t do anything about it. Even convicted felons I supervised 40 years ago took care of their own blocks and galleries. They didn’t want the “police” (correction officers) coming around either, so they took it upon themselves to police their own blocks and galleries, to make sure any potential troublemakers knew not to stir up any $hit. And it sure doesn’t help when the same people, committing the same crimes over, and over, are put right back out on the street to continue their crime sprees.
For later.

I've been retired for 20 years, and have used mail pharmacies through my retirement prescription plan all those years. I had to find a new ear, nose and throat doctor when my other one retired a couple of years ago, and the dummies in his office, on three different occasions, couldn't follow my requests to submit my scripts to CVS Caremark, and kept sending them to the local Walgreen's for me to pick up, so I stopped seeing the doctor. I explained the problem to my new family doctor, and she said as long as the medication is in my record with them, they will issue a new script when I need it, and send it to CVS.
At least they have their own “holiday “ party.
