Recently noticed that the Walgreens on Lindell is no longer open 24 hours. Just a few years ago there were ar least 4 pharmacies in the city open all the time and now don't know of any. It's disappointing but not surprising given the spikes in crime. Twice I went into the Lindell CVS early morning only to find out it had just been robbed, one time the manager had been assaulted. Once they stopped the 24 hour thing I used the Walgreens across the street and missed an armed robbery by seconds when the 2 men came running out with guns while I was getting in my car. Needless to say I started using pharmacies in south city.
Are you sure the Lindell Walgreens isn't open 24 hours anymore? The website says it is and I was there in the wee hours of the morning a few weeks ago: https://www.walgreens.com/locator/walgr ... 08/id=6472
The pharmacy inside isn't open all the time but I'm not sure that ever was the case.

I have a friend who worked as Pharmacy Tech for years. Most of them have closed due to staffing shortages.

Spike of crime?
I can’t find a single pharmacy that’s been robbed in STL
Anyway, my cousin is the lead pharmacist for all Walgreens in STL; it’s staffing

Tell your cousin the Walgreens in Brentwood keeps mislabeling our prescriptions. It’s happened to me, my wife and kid all recently. They’re going to end up killing someone.
It’s not just in the city. The Walgreens in Clayton (RIP ParkMoor) used to be 24 hours. The one in Brentwood now closes at 6 on Saturdays (6 AYFKM!?). Both close for lunch breaks now too. From 1:30-2.

We really are entering a strange new world where there will never be enough young people to fill all the jobs - particularly relating to the care of an ever-aging population. AI can't get here soon enough.
Amazing how unprepared we are given this easily foreseeable problem.

The pandemic changed the job market the way the last New Madrid earthquake changed the course of the Mississippi. Won't ever be the same. So yes, we need to automate where possible and apply AI delicately. And never let it touch quantum computing.

Some are open 24 hours where you can buy over the counter type relief, but the actual pharmacies for prescribed stuff close around 1/130am.

CVS? The Walgreens is at Chippewa and Kingshighway?RockChalkSTL wrote: ↑Feb 14, 2025There are rumors on the internet that the Walgreens at Chippewa/Gravois is going to close in March.
At this point a Walgreens or CVS closing is barely news and is almost expected.
Someone on Nextdoor says the Walgreens at 3720 N. Kingshighway is closing.

Got mail from Walgreens the other day saying the Walgreens at McCausland/Manchester is closing.

This came out yesterday.
They're going to transfer most of their customers to 6733 Clayton Rd in Clayton. Most of the employees will be moved to other stores.

That's a great location for a large, mixed-use development. Access to grocery, transit, bars and restaurants. They'd need to do some work to improve pedestrian friendliness.

The former Walgreens at McCausland and Manchester has construction going on inside. $150k building permit for "storage/retail". So I assume a storage facility of some kind.Auggie wrote: ↑Mar 13, 2025https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/new ... store.html

Because the one diagonally located from that former Walgreens is filled?

How much sh*t do people have, and not have room for??

Funnily enough I looked into that one for storage recently since it's the one closest to me and it is basically 100% full (assuming the availability is accurate).BarryGlick wrote: ↑Aug 23, 2025Because the one diagonally located from that former Walgreens is filled?
