One of the Imperial Building's tenants is planning to open soon.
The first-to-New Mexico Albuquerque City Drug location has announced it will open Aug. 15.
Albuquerque City Drug is part of a chain of other pharmacies in the Southwest. The store will offer prescription drugs, over-the-counter remedies, vitamin supplements and personal care products. It came to New Mexico, owners Jason Graves and Justin Graves say, because they love it here and knew they wanted to do business in the Duke City.
It enters the city in the Downtown area at 205 Silver Ave. SW. Downtown has been in the headlines for businesses threatening to leave because of crime and for initiatives Mayor Richard Berry has unveiled as efforts to curb that crime. While the crime has been on owner Jason Graves' mind, he says it didn't keep them from choosing the area to launch their first New Mexico store.
