Our Snyders is Closing...

You may have heard that Snyders Drugs is reducing the number of stores it has in the Twin Cities... well, wouldn't you know that our SunRay Snyders is one of the stores destined to close - it will happen in March.

Now we have Michaels, Bally's, Snyders, and several small shops closed or closing in SunRay shopping center.

Our office hears a lot of complaints from residents about store vacancies and the types of stores we have in our area, but what are residents doing about it?? Do you buy from our local stores? Do you ask the store owners to stock what it is you want? Or do you travel out to Woodbury to shop??

Here's an idea... if you used Snyders for your prescriptions consider transferring those prescriptions to Cub Pharmacy in SunRay or to Walgreens on White Bear. If you visit some drug store in another neighborhood, try shopping locally.

And join us in March for our Annual Meeting where we are encouraging everyone to BUY LOCAL - really local. Support our businesses if you want to prevent further closures...
