Residents looking for the nearest alternatives may face tough commutes. The closest Walgreens is on Columbus Avenue, which is about a 22 minute walk from the Warren Street location. A CVS on Dimock Street is also about a 20 minute walk.
'We already have a hard enough time getting the medical prescriptions that we need,' said At-Large Councilor Julia Mejia. 'Now we're going to have to find other spaces and places to be able to have access to life-saving medication.'
Walgreens said they consider their 'existing footprint of stores, dynamics of the local market, and changes in the buying habits of our patients and customers' when they choose to close a store.
