The closure of two Walgreens locations has led to increased wait times at the remaining Mission Street location, affecting many local customers. Delaney White, a regular, shares her frustrations about long lines that sometimes extend into the store aisles, recalling a time she waited 45 minutes. Supervisor Jackie Fielder is seeking solutions by requesting a city report to explore collaborations between community pharmacies. The situation has necessitated a reevaluation of pharmacy accessibility in the Mission, with some residents considering alternatives like mail-order prescriptions.
Supervisor Jackie Fielder asked the city in February to produce a report to explore ways for independent and city-owned pharmacies to work together to address the gap left by Walgreens closures.
It's been bad for years, White said of the wait time at the pharmacy located on the busy Mission Street corridor. Now it has gotten much worse.
