Friends and neighbors,
We are deeply saddened to announce the upcoming closure of Long’s Drug Store.
After 67 years of serving the Knoxville community, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to close our store. Our final day of operation will be Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
Since the drugstore opened in 1956, the healthcare landscape has seen a lot of change. Insurance companies have much more control than they did six decades ago, and we don’t just feel that as a provider - all of us feel that personally, too. In addition to these changes over the years, the pandemic was an especially challenging season for us. Despite our best efforts to continue serving our community, unfortunately, our business model can no longer continue financially in this new landscape. Ultimately, this is the hardest decision we’ve ever made.
We are so deeply grateful to everyone who has supported and loved the drugstore over these last six decades. Before we close, please come by and see us for a burger and a milkshake or just to say hello. Thank you for trusting us with your health and the health of your families for more than 60 years. ❤️
All our love,
Hank, Debbie, and the Peck family
