Hundreds of Alabama Pharmacies are Closing. Will Yours be Next?

When Anthony Bolus and his team opened Ross Bridge Pharmacy in 2019, he never imagined he’d be closing its doors just over five years later – despite growing sales and increasing revenue.

“I’ve been part of opening pharmacies before, both commercial and independent,” said Anthony. “But I’ve never had to close one. Until now.”

Anthony and his team have become one of hundreds of independent pharmacies across the U.S. that have had to make the tough decision to shut their doors in the wake of increasing drug costs and decreased reimbursements from Pharmacy Benefits Managers, or PBMs.
