The citizens of Rossville have bound together in an attempt to maintain the CVS Pharmacy store in the
downtown area after its announcement that it will close its doors in June.
Community members of Rossville have begun to raise awareness for the closure of the CVS in Rossville, stating that the store provides pharmaceutical resources and medicines in a local area where its closure would require Rossville residents to travel outside of the town to receive their medications.
The community realized that the store was scheduled to close this summer after a note was posted inside the building announcing its expected closing date, and community members have reported that the pharmacists in the building have not been told the reasoning behind the closing as of today, Thursday, April 25. The note read:
After 48 years of service to the Rossville community, this CVS will be closing its doors.
Our last day will be June 11.
Thank you for allowing us to serve you!
Community members have encouraged others to contact the corporate office at 1-800-ShopCVS in an attempt to have the store remain in the area. Other community members have noted that numerous stores have seemingly begun to close across the state, including one report from a member of the Bloomington community who relayed that their local store has begun to close its doors as well.
