We'll Miss You, Mackey Drugs

I wonder how many of you know that, as of July 24th, 2013, Mackey’s Pharmacy is closing forever.

 

As a very young girl, I remember when the Mackey brothers, Jim and George, came to town.  Back then, the Mackey’s was up in the older Newtown Square; near the Red Buck Hotel, now also gone.  Both Mackeys, and the pleasant owner, John Lorenzo, have been true members and big supports of the community and offered that fast-fading quality of friendly, “go the extra mile” service.

Mackeys, and other small businesses are what make a small town special.  Chains are okay, but I really prefer to buy my groceries at Acme and Gentilies…and leave my medicine to the specialist drug store.

So “Thank You” to all the friendly people at Mackeys.  I really hate to see you go!
