Upper West Side Duane Reade Location Closing In February

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The Duane Reade on the corner of West 106th Street and Broadway will permanently shutter in a little more than a month's time.

An employee from the store at 2760-62 Broadway confirmed to Patch that the Duane Reade will close on Feb. 16.

The most recent pharmacy closing joins recent shuttering such as the longtime Rite Aid on Amsterdam Avenue between West 69th Street and 70th Streets, and the Duane Reade on West 97th Street and Columbus Avenue that closed in 2019.

The two-level Duane Reade storefront at West 106th Street is one of the larger businesses in the area. It also sits within a relatively busy pedestrian corner between the West 110th and 103rd Street 1 train stations.

The employee did not specify to Patch why the store was closing.

There are other Duane Reade's still open on the Upper West Side at the following addresses:

• 2683 Broadway (Between West 102nd and 103rd Streets)
• 2522 Broadway (Between West 94th and 95th Streets)
• 700 Columbus Avenue (Between West 94th and 95th Streets)
• 609 Columbus Avenue (Between West 89th and 90th Streets)
• 380 Amsterdam Avenue (Between West 78th and 79th Streets)
• 2069 Broadway (Between West 71st and 72nd Streets)

The WestSideRag was the first publication to report on Duane Reade's closing at West 106th Street.
