Walgreens will close its Codman Square pharmacy in Dorchester on September 10, part of a larger strategy that includes closing 1,200 locations by fiscal year 2025. This closure follows another Walgreens shutdown in Dorchester earlier in the year and raises concerns about pharmacy accessibility, especially as many residents lack reliable transportation. The company is not alone in this trend, as CVS plans to close numerous stores as well. Protestors have raised alarms about the implications of these closures for predominantly Black and Hispanic communities.
Walgreens plans to permanently shut its Codman Square location on September 10, joining a trend of closures affecting predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods.
Despite Walgreens closing its Codman Square store, the company believes it can maintain customer service by redirecting prescriptions to nearby locations.
