Retail and pharmacy chain London Drugs took to social media Sunday to inform shoppers the company’s stores across western Canada will be closed until further notice.

In a tweet to X, London Drugs said it was experiencing an “operational issue” that led to the closures.

In a statement to Global News, a spokesperson for London Drugs said the company hoped to update the situation Sunday afternoon.

“We will provide updates as we progress in resolving this issue,” said Jessica Harcombe Fleming , senior vice president with Tartanbond. “We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience.”

In a post to Facebook, the company said the closure would not be permanent.

The company said pharmacists are standing by to help customers with urgent needs, but advised shoppers to call their local stores directly to make arrangements.
