Harry Xidias, an owner of City View Pharmacy, will continue on as Supervising Pharmacist and City View Pharmacy’s current employees will become AHF Pharmacy staff.
Established in 2006 by Harry Xidias, RPh and his business partner and wife Angie Xidias, City View Pharmacy, 23-07 Astoria Boulevard, will keep its name and current six-day operating schedule.
