Euro Chemist Pharmacy (669 Manhattan Ave.) announced that they will be closing after 17 years in the community.
That block of Manhattan Avenue will look a little different for wellness lovers, as Euro Chemist’s longtime neighbor, Natural Vitamins, also closed its doors last year.
“Our last day is on June 30th. We are having a going out of business sale. Everything is 60% off,” one of the owners told Greenpointers via email. “It was an honor to be part of this amazing community.”
True to its name, Euro Chemist stood apart from the big chain stores with its friendly service and selection of harder to find European beauty brands.
Unbelievable that all our confidential prescriptions were transferred to big-box Rite Aid without our knowledge! Customers had no chance to opt-out of record-sharing before the transfer. Ludicrous there was no chance to keep our records out of the hands of a major corporation – no personal choice for customers to switch to a local pharmacy instead, BEFORE the records were shared. We feel violated.
That’s awful!! Rite Aid has a terrible pharmacy as is but the violation of personal information is unsettling. Get your rx transferred to Altru. A bit of a trek, but still small biz. Sorry this happened to everyone there, had no idea. Breach!
This Rite-Aid transfer is terrible. It should be investigated fully.
Also, If this storefront turns into another pot shop, I’m going to lose my mind.
