ESTEVAN — The pharmacy at the Sobeys grocery store in Estevan has permanently closed.
The final day for the service was on Feb. 24. In a letter sent to customers, Sobeys stressed the grocery store will remain open.
“The decision to close a pharmacy location is never taken lightly and various contributing factors are taken into consideration,” Sobeys wrote in a letter to customers.
The company did not elaborate on those contributing factors.
Patients’ pharmacy records will be transferred to the Estevan Pharmasave.
“The team there would be happy to help you with your prescription and other pharmacy service needs as of February 25, 2023,” Sobeys wrote.
Paul Wyke, an external communications specialist, said Sobeys is grateful for “teammates’ commitment and dedicated service” to Sobeys pharmacies and their communities.
Sobeys did not comment on what would happen to the employees at the pharmacy, what would happen to the pharmacy space or if there had been a decline in the number of patients.
