Local pharmacy chain steps in as Midtown Walgreens prepares to close
As customers of the Walgreens in Midtown prepare for the store’s planned closure on June 23 , Hayat Pharmacy, one of the few remaining pharmacies in the area, is hosting prescription transfer events to ensure residents’ prescription services are uninterrupted. The prescription transfer events are hosted at the 1919 W. North Ave. location, about a half mile away from the closing Walgreens. The final event will be on June 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. No registration is required. Independently owned by Hashim Zaibak and Tamir Kaloti, Hayat has 18 pharmacies across southeast Wisconsin and 14 in Milwaukee, many on the city's north and northwest sides. The chain was founded in 2011 to address pharmacy deserts in Milwaukee, according to the company's website . That mission has become especially relevant as Milwaukee residents reel from a string of grocery store and pharmacy closures throughout the greater Milwaukee area. The city’s north side has borne the brunt of the trend. “We’re trying to tell people that even though the pharmacy is closing on 27 th and North, they can come to us,” said Zaibak. “We’ll take care of them, and we’ll offer not just the same service, but better service.” That

Closed King Drive Walgreens can’t reopen as pharmacy without approval
It may be another 57 years until the former Walgreens on North King Drive and West Hadley Street can be a new pharmacy without the company's permission. The Harambee neighborhood Walgreens announced its closure in 2024 , but the company continues to pay rent on the King Drive property, effectively preventing another store or pharmacy from opening at the location, according to the terms listed in the lease. As Walgreens locations continue to close across the city, the King Drive location is not the only one with terms that prevent future pharmacies from opening in shuttered storefronts without the company's permission. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reviewed six Walgreens leases provided by the Milwaukee County Register of Deeds, including the closed Harambee location and leases in neighborhoods like Midtown and Layton Boulevard West. All leases signed after 2006 contain language restricting future pharmacies from opening at former Walgreens locations so long as the major pharmacy chain continues to rent the property. The leases even attempt to restrict other types of businesses from opening, including bowling alleys, theaters and children's play facilities. Stephanie Tanner, 43, who lives near North Richards Street and East Chambers Street, used to go to the Walgreens on
