After 50 years of operation, an East Brady business is closing its doors for good this week.

Brackens Pharmacy, 7 Water Street, said on its Facebook page its final day of business will conclude at the end of the day Saturday.

The post said main reasons for the closing are pharmacy benefit managers, which are third-party administrators that specialize in managing prescription drug benefits for health insurers, employers and government programs.

These managers have not permitted profitability on most prescriptions for the business, the post said, with little reimbursement from insurance companies.

The post said the business will try to complete as many prescriptions as possible before closing, as customers scramble to find another pharmacy.
