Milford Walgreens Among Several In State To Close

MILFORD, CT — A Milford Walgreens location will close, as the pharmacy chain giant reduces its store count across the country.

The 1083 Boston Post Road store will close April 21, according to its website. Walgreens has another store in Milford at 541 Bridgeport Ave.

Stores in Middletown and Waterbury are also scheduled to close next month.

The news comes as Walgreens is planning to shutter 1,200 stores over the next three years.

Last month, Walgreens announced it was closing stores in Hartford and New Haven. In December, the pharmacy store chain announced another closure in New Haven and one in East Hampton.

A Walgreens spokesman said last month that the closures were not "an easy decision" but "increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures are weighing on our ability to cover the costs associated with rent, staffing, and supply needs."
