Varnum’s Pharmacy Moving Down the Hill in Mid-March

The widely anticipated move of Main Street fixture Varnum’s Pharmacy down the hill to where East Avenue meets Cherry Street likely is one month away, a clerk at the store tells us. Dorrie Plotnick says Varnum’s will open in a newly renovated space with all new fixtures and additional products. The move will happen over a weekend and customers will experience no down-time, she said.

“We wanted to remodel the store inside and it was a lot easier to sort of make a transition, rather than close the pharmacy down,” Plotnick said.
