Eastgate Pharmacy Announced On Tuesday That The Store Is Closing After Sixty Three Years Of Operation In Sylva. Eastgate Was Sylva’s Oldest Drug Store Having Operated Many Years Under The Care Of Leo Cowan Who Passed The Business On To His Son Kim Cowen.
Customers Will Now Be Able To Obtain Their Prescribed Medications At Walgreens Pharmacy In Sylva Who Purchased The Business From Cowan. For Many Years Eastgate Operated One Of Sylva’s Favorite Sandwich Shops But Later Transitioned To A Gift Show Known For Stocking A Wide Selection Of Puzzles, Handbags And Toys.
Other Changes May Be Coming To The Eastgate Shopping Center As The Debris From A Fire Last Year Is Cleared Out To Make Way For New Construction.
