Price Chopper Closes Oswego Store’s Pharmacy
by Stefanie Sciolaro
Oswego, NY – The local Price Chopper in Oswego County has closed its in-store pharmacy for good. The pharmacy closed on Mar. 22.
The decision was made by the Golub Corporation, who owns and operates 136 Price Choppers throughout New York and its neighboring states. Golub and Price Chopper teammates have transferred all patients prescriptions to the Rite Aid in Oswego on NY-Route 104.
“We are always reluctant to close a pharmacy. But, today, pharmacies rely on economies of scale and the ability to serve a large number of patients. Within some smaller geographic regions, consolidation is the best way to provide those economies,” Price Chopper’s Vice President of Pharmacy Kathy Bryant said.
For patients looking for a new pharmacy, there is a number of options in the Oswego area including Wayne Drugs and Kinney’s on West Bridge Street and Walmart on NY-Route 104.

She says the campus has successfully slowed the spread of COVID-19. However, the only change permitted will be the transition to in-person classes.
This means students, on or off-campus, are still expected to limit their movements for essential purposes only. Student clubs and organizations cannot hold meetings in person. On-campus students cannot host visitors in their residence halls, including students from other dorms. The dining halls will still be takeout only.
All outlines in the SUNY-wide emergency directive will continue to be enforced at SUNY Oswego. The directive says a student’s card access can be revoked if a student fails to fill out their health screening or fails to take a mandatory COVID test, At a press conference today, President Stanley says no such issue has been brought to her attention where a student forgets to fill out their health screening or failed to take a test.
Oswego County Administrator Phil Church says the Oswego County Health Department approved SUNY Oswego’s decision to continue in-person classes. SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras praised the effort between the college and the community to contain the virus.
Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow says only one mass gathering was broken up during the two week pause.
According to SUNY Oswego’s COVID-19 dashboard, there are only 28 active cases of COVID-19 in the campus community and 30 counting towards the NYS-remote learning threshold.
Stanley says the school will continue surveillence testing which will take place every three weeks.
