Gloucester Pharmacy, owned by Keith Hodges (pictured above), will close for good next week.
After more than 20 years of service, Gloucester Pharmacy, located at the Walter Reed Plaza, will close for good on Monday.
Pharmacy owner Keith Hodges, who also serves as the area’s representative to the Virginia House of Delegates, said that he is closing his business for a few reasons. His largest competitor since the COVID-19 pandemic started, he said, has been mail-orders. He also wants to be able to spend more time with his family.
“I am definitely sad,” said Hodges.
