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

Milwaukee refugees waiting on green cards scrambling in wake of SNAP, Medicaid cuts
Faced with the reality that hundreds of Milwaukee refugees who are waiting for their green cards will lose food and health care benefits in the coming months, some families have been coming to Omar Mohamed with questions he can't answer. "Why is the government doing this? They know where we came from. They know our situation. They brought us here," Mohamed, the director of Lutheran Social Services' resettlement program, said one client told him. Refugees are legal immigrants resettled by the U.S. government. The coming cuts to FoodShare and Medicaid for refugees and other legal immigrants – permanent changes as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act – will create gaps in nutrition and health care that will put serious stress on Milwaukee's nonprofit aid system, advocates say. Groups are now scrambling to build a support network before the cuts take effect. Starting July 1, FoodShare cuts will begin to take effect, depending on a person's renewal date. FoodShare is the state's version of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. People with FoodShare and Medicaid will lose both benefits by Oct. 1. About 7,200 people in Wisconsin will lose their benefits as a result of the new
