LEECHBURG PHARMACY WELCOMES 200 NEW CUSTOMERS

Klingensmith’s Pharmacy in Leechburg quickly welcomed about 200 new customers seeking an alternative source for their prescriptions after Wednesday’s abrupt closing of Health Mart pharmacies in Leechburg and Lower Burrell.  The closings are part of an ongoing trend among some independent pharmacies that struggle to make a profit as big-box retailers buy privately owned ones. The local owners are responding with refined customer service that includes packaging prescriptions for ease of use, along with delivery.
