Longtime Rockville Business Relocating To Route 83 In Vernon

VERNON, CT — A longtime Vernon business is about to relocate from a spot tucked in a corner of Downtown Rockville to prominent parcel on Route 83.

Vernon Economic Development Coordinator Shaun Gately said this week that Rockville Pharmacy will be leaving its current location at 40 West Main St. to the former Veggie World location at 42 Windsor Ave.

Windsor Avenue is the local name for that section of Route 83. The building hosted produce businesses under two different sets of management.

The building is being renovated and the move will take place once construction is finished, Gately said.

Rockville Pharmacy will be joining CVS and Walgreens in a row of businesses that offer prescription services separated by just a few driveways.

It once anchored the rear plaza on West Main Street with the Rockville Lanes bowling establishment. The lanes have been defunct for years.
