Green Cross Pharmacy in the North End has closed its doors. Their last day open for business was March 5, 2019.
Owners Joseph (Peppi) and Fernando (Freddy) Giangregorio came to the United States in 1954 and have owned the pharmacy at 393 Hanover St. since 1964. As residents and small business owners, they have been actively involved in the North End community for over 50 years.
Peppi recently received an award from Centro Attività Scolastiche
Italiane (C.A.S.IT) for his unwavering support and promotion of the Italian language and culture in the North End. The brothers have also earned a Clean Streets Good Neighbor Award.
The family owns the Hanover Street building so Peppi will continue to live upstairs. Freddie and his family live in Revere.
Peppi, Freddy, Rachele (Ellie) and Dom from Green Cross Pharmacy would all like to thank their patrons and the North End community for being so supportive over the years.
