Soda City Pharmacy & Compounding, 380 Saint Andrews Road: April 2023 no comments
Soda City Pharmacy was the follow-on in this building to Insurance Masters. They opened around March of 2022, and lasted until around April of the following year. Judging from the media reports here & here, traffic was never good post-COVID, and the place was looking for community support.
As commenter Andrew reports, Rustic Roots Salon is now setting up in this space.

Long's Drugs / Rise Fitness, 2801 Millwood Avenue: Late 2023 (Moved) no comments
Google Streetview suggests that Long's Drugs was here until probably sometime in 2020, being definitely gone by April 2021. It appears that Rise moved in in 2022, and was left sometime after October 2023. Judging from the web, they moved to 1727 Harden Street after that, and this building is currently vacant. You can see the LoopNet information here.
Food Mart, 3309 Platt Springs Road / Privilege Pharmacy 3311 Platt Springs Road: Spring 2022 1 comment
I think given the complementary signage, these two storefronts on Platt Springs Road, next to the final location of Taco Cid, were clearly under the same ownership and probably run together. I can't find out much other information, but the last google reviews suggest they closed about this time last year.
Wallgreens Pharmacy, 2300 Decker Boulevard: Spring 2023 1 comment
This Walgreens was perhaps the least Wallgreens-looking store in the Columbia area, having been an Eckerd and then a Rite Aid until 2018. I had been in there a few times in each incarnation and it was fine, but it wasn't one of my go-to drugstores.
Commenter Andrew speculates that the issue here was the lack of a drive-through, but it's a corner spot, so I think they could have put one in somehow (though I did not think to look at the side area of the store). At any rate, the issue wasn't Walgreens oversaturation -- I believe the nearest one to here is either at Spring Valley Commons, or on Forest Drive, neither of which is particularly close.

CVS Pharmacy, 9712 Two Notch Road: June 2022 5 comments
Here's another CVS closing, this time in a down-at-the-heels plaza (which used to house Walmart & then Netbank),at the corner of Two Notch & Polo Roads.
Commenter Thomas says this one started as a Revco, and that rings a faint bell.

UPDATE 12 July 2022 -- Here are some post-closing pictures:
