GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — After more than 70 years in the Green Bay community, Streu’s Pharmacy has announced a partial closure November 30.

It will end its retail pharmacy and store, shifting its focus to long-term care.

Streu’s CEO Nicole Schreiner says it wasn’t an easy decision, but poor reimbursement rates from pharmacy benefit managers has made the retail pharmacy model unsustainable.

“It’s been a real emotional journey,” said Schreiner.

It’s a problem affecting pharmacies everywhere, including chains like Walgreens, which has announced the closure of nearly 1,200 stores by 2027 .

“It’s both sad and also, there’s opportunity,” said Trent Zeitler, a pharmacist who’s been employed at Streu’s 33 years.
