Regretfully as of Wednesday, June 15th Town & Country Apothecary will no longer be able to fill your prescriptions. Reimbursement rates have made it difficult for us to continue in this market. All prescription files have been relocated to the Walgreens located at 199 E. Ridgewood Avenue. The pharmacist, Mary, is looking forward to welcoming all of you.Town & Country Apothecary will remain open and will continue to sell vitamins and supplements, OTC items, skincare and cosmetics as well as home decor and gifts.
what a joke.
Are they going to remove “Apothecary” from their name and just go with Town and Country?

My wife was there on Wednesday. T&C was bought out by Walgreen’s. Folks who worked there told her it was gone. Employees were out on the street crying.
People were being referred to other non-chain pharmacies to have their scripts transferred and filled.
70 years of a local business gone.
Isn’t there a Walgreens in town, across the street and down the block?
