Tuttle’s Pharmacy, an independent business that has served customers in Santa Rosa for nearly eight decades, is shutting its doors this week.
The third-generation family-owned pharmacy is closing its two Santa Rosa locations as part of a sale to Philadelphia-based chain Rite Aid, said Debbi Ling, operations manager at Tuttle’s.
The pharmacy’s Doyle Park location will close 6 p.m. Monday and the Hoen Avenue shop is slated to close 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Ling said staffers are working to alert customers about the closure and ensure an easy transition.
“We’re doing our very best to make the transition very seamless and as easy as possible on our customers,” she said.
Few details about the sale or its impact on customers were immediately known.
Rite Aid spokesperson Catherine Carter confirmed the acquisition in an email and said Doyle Park customers will able to fill their prescriptions at Rite Aid’s Farmers Lane location starting Tuesday and those who received their prescriptions at the Hoen Avenue pharmacy would be able to access their medication at Rite Aid starting Feb. 1.
