A longtime business in Teague closed its doors last Friday.
Pharmacy Plus, originally Teague City Drug, ceased operation after more than 80 years in business last week. Store owner and operator Tommy Neale said that business has suffered in recent years.
“The business has been in decline for several years,” Neale said. “We were also unable to get some third-party contracts that we badly needed. The third-party contracts with the two biggest employers in Teague - BNSF Railroad and Teague ISD - were denied. We lost a lot of business after that. Third-party reimbursements have fallen to such a low level that we can’t afford to pay our pharmacists, staff or rent.”
