Another Walgreens Is Closing In This MA City

MASSACHUSETTS — Walgreens, the national pharmacy chain, will close another Massachusetts location this year.

The Codman Square Walgreens, in Dorchester, would close on Sept. 10, the company announced on its website. It's the second location to close in Dorchester this year.

This latest closure comes after nine in Massachusetts were announced earlier this year, and about 500 across the country.

The company had announced in 2024 that a significant number of stores would be closing.

At the time, CEO Tim Wentworth said, "We continue to face a difficult operating environment, including persistent pressures on the U.S.consumer and the impact of recent marketplace dynamics, which have eroded pharmacy margins."

Walgreens isn't the only pharmacy chain facing challenges in recent years, as Rite Aid has seen its Massachusetts footprint continue to shrink.

In June, locals discovered that the chain would only have three locations left in the state after a store was set to close in Clinton.

Residents learned in May that all locations in the state would either be sold or closed, which has come with a slow rollout of closures across stores in the state.
