According to Walgreens, all of their pharmacy customers have been notified by mail. The store also posting the notice at the location and sharing the news recorded on the pharmacy voicemail. Phil Roncarati is a frequent customer and currently walks to the location on State Street as his car is not in service, "This closing down puts a huge inconvenience trying to get medication." The closure forced some customers to search for a new pharmacy. "I'll stay with CVS for what I can, I'm probably going to either end up in Ludlow taking a bus there or Carew St," shared Phil Roncarati. According to the corporation, once your store closes you can select any Walgreens location to continue filling your prescriptions. Patient information is available across all locations. "I'll probably just go to CVS because CVS is right up here," expressed David Taimanglo.
