It's a family business and I know so many people and their children and now their children's children. I would've done it a couple of years ago, but I wanted to make sure every one of my employees was taken care of in a way that would make them happy." Levison said she's been trying to sell the store since the summer and acknowledged that she attempted to make a deal with an individual, but it fell through. Managing Director's, Doug Smith, George Nova, and Vice President, Michael Goss, led the Generational Equity deal team that advised Lang's Pharmacy on the transaction.
