Botetourt County is about to lose its last independent pharmacy. Ransone’s Drug Store in Buchanan County closes today at 5:30 after serving the area since 1937. The closure means Buchanan-area residents will often have to make round trips of 40 miles or more to pick up prescriptions in Daleville or Lexington. WFIR’s Evan Jones has the story:
The fountain and grill portions of the business will remain open.
