Say Farewell to These 6 Pharmacies in Missouri & Illinois

The list of businesses that have closed their doors this year is long. That list just got even longer as there are now 6 pharmacies in Missouri and Illinois that have either closed their doors forever or are about to.

Why are so many pharmacies in Missouri and Illinois closing?

Many experts say that there are less people walking through their doors at brick and mortar locations due to online competition. That kind of trend will inevitably lead to store closings which is what's happened for a number of Missouri and Illinois pharmacies.

Which pharmacies in Missouri and Illinois are closing their doors?

Just today, I saw an article by Cheapism which said the following Illinois and Missouri pharmacies are either already closed or have announced plans to.

CVS - 8639 S. Cicero Ave., Chicago, Illinois

CVS - 401 W. Armitage Ave., Chicago, Illinois

CVS - 2000 Skokie Valley Rd., Highland Park, Illinois

CVS - 2435 Independence Ave., Kansas City, Missouri

CVS - 9433 Manchester Rd., Saint Louis, Missouri

CVS - 4531 Troost Ave., Kansas City, Missouri

Will this be just the first few of many brick and mortar pharmacies that call it a day? Let's hope not, but it's an online world now so time will tell if these traditional places can figure out a strategy to move forward successfully.
