Sammeth’s closing

An institution in Seneca, Sammeth’s Drug Company, has closed its doors…and the closing of the N. Townville Street business has surprised the local community. We’re told that store shelves are being emptied this afternoon, and passersby are reading the sign left by the store’s management. It refers those with prescriptions and other store accounts to CVS Pharmacy at Ingle’s Place.  Reporters are being told the decision to close was sudden and that Sammeth’s proprietor, Michael McGaha, plans to make an official announcement Monday.
