Indian Orchard Pharmacies

Indian Orchard doesn't have one now, but  I recall 3 that have operated here. There were others prior to my personal experience that have closed their business.

At the intersection of Main and Parker streets you'd find Orchard Pharmacy


It closed in the late 1980s and was replaced by a series of pizza establishments until about 5 years ago when the entire triangular corner ,including  the famous green monster building, was demolished.




On 162 Main st. you could use Montcalm Pharmacy which was owned by Mr. Cocchi until mid 1990s.



He sold the business which included a small liquor store and joined a new outfit in the Orchard plaza along with the Olde Butcher Shop that was once across the street,but had moved to  and survived in the plaza



Together along with additional products it became a supermarket which name I can't recall.
It didn't survive , but it provided the roots for the current supermarket at the site, Save-a-Lot.
Aspirin is about all you can buy there now.


One older pharmacy that existed on 222 Main St. was Paul  Mongeau Pharmacy.
