Downtown Florence Walgreens to Close? Update!

 

Update: Tuesday - According to the store manager and a regional officer, while the first part of this info on closings is true, the second part regarding the Florence store is untrue. According to a third source, the Sheffield store will remain closed. It's currently unknown who has sent these letters. If you receive any communication with private information on script holders, please forward to the a Walgreens regional office: Walgreen Co. 108 Wilmot Road Deerfield, IL 60015.

Walgreens announced in June that it would close 150 more U.S. locations before the end of 2023. Now patrons with prescriptions at the Hicks Boulevard location in downtown Florence have received letters informing them their records have been transferred to the location on Florence Boulevard. There has been no mention of the North Wood Avenue Store which originally was home to a CVS.

The downtown Florence location has been of value to many who live in Courtview Towers and other nearby apartments , many of whom rely on motorized scooters for shopping trips. The former Montgomery Avenue location in Sheffield is scheduled to house a new Dollar Tree. Let's hope the Florence store will be able to do the same.
