Are Walgreens Stores in Binghamton Closing? Updates and Details

Walgreens recently announced plans to close approximately 1,200 stores across the U.S. due to challenges stemming from a decline in consumer spending. The first wave of closures, which includes the Owego location at 153 Main St., is set to begin in 2025. In an effort to restructure and adapt to changing market conditions, Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth expressed confidence that these changes will ultimately lead to long-term financial and consumer benefits.

While the Owego location is confirmed to be closing on January 28, 2025, the status of Walgreens stores in Binghamton remains uncertain. Samantha Stansberry from Walgreens’ communications team stated that there are currently no specific announcements regarding closures in Binghamton. The evaluation of the company’s store footprint is an ongoing process, and any future decisions will be communicated in advance to affected employees, patients, and customers.

For now, Walgreens locations in Binghamton at 37 Pennsylvania Ave., 1428 Upper Front St., and 85 Robinson St. continue to operate normally. As the company navigates these changes, customers in the Southern Tier can stay informed about any updates through official channels from Walgreens.
