Pharmacy chain Walgreens is shuttering two stores in Greater Fall River in June, leaving customers with a few weeks to arrange transfers if necessary.

 

According to Walgreens’ website, the store at 510 Wilbur Ave. in Swansea is permanently closing on June 23; the store at 1512 S. Main St. in Fall River is permanently closing on June 26.

 

In October 2024, the company announced it planned to close about 1,200 underperforming stores across the United States over the next three years to offset declining profits resulting from low drug reimbursement rates and sluggish retail sales.

 

About 450 of those closures are expected to take place by the end of 2025.
