BURLINGTON â Thousands of health care consumers are losing an independent pharmacy that has worked since the 1980s to offer a locally-owned alternative to rising prescription costs.
The Pharmacy Station, which has outlets in Burlington, Waterford and Elkhorn, has sold its prescription business to Walgreens, turning over customer accounts to the drugstore giant, which has more than 9,000 locations.
Pharmacy Station customers are saddened and disappointed to see the downfall of a hometown business where they found a familiar face and a helping hand in the often-chaotic world of health care.
âItâs just a shame,â Burlington customer Geri Brady said. âItâs going to be missed greatly.â
