Downtown Florence Walgreens to Close

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.
