ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Another Walgreens in Albuquerque is set to close next month and this time it’s a location in the northeastern part of the city.

The location at Menaul and Carlisle will close Nov. 13. A sign at the location reads that they’re closing by that date.

Customers are frustrated with this.

“It’s just right there. So now we have to really travel a little bit longer. We’ll have to travel probably 15 minutes away as opposed to five or 10. That is a big like difference in traveling time,” customer Diamond Martinez said.

We reached out to Walgreens corporate reps to see why this location is closing. Here’s what a spokesperson said in a statement:

“Our retail pharmacy business is central to our go-forward business strategy. However, increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures are weighing on our ability to cover the costs associated with rent, staffing, and supply needs. It is never an easy decision to close a store. We know that our stores are important to the communities that we serve, and therefore do everything possible to improve the store performance. When closures are necessary, like this one in Albuquerque, we will work in partnership with community stakeholders to minimize customer disruptions. We intend to redeploy the majority of our team members from those stores that we close.”

In late-September, Walgreens confirmed the Central and Eubank would close Nov. 6. A spokesperson told KOB 4 the company’s current pharmacy model is “not sustainable” and requires them to “approach the market differently.” They said closing stores based on profitability is a part of that.

Last year, the Walgreens at Central and San Mateo also closed.
