Pharmacy chains have been dropping like flies. Walgreen bought them all up. Since Grocery stores and mass merchandisers all stated adding pharmacies the stand alone pharmacies have been failing, Most likely Walgreens are looking at bankruptcy and this was a way out for the current management
Around here we have Kroger Express inside Walgreen’s. I don’t think it’s good branding for Kroger because the prices for groceries are quite a bit higher than in regular Kroger.
We also have Target Pharmacy by CVS. The pharmacy is inside regular Target but it’s run by CVS.
The Walgreens in the small town where I work has a super Walmart and a super Target, both with pharmacies, a quarter mile in either direction from it.
The Walgreens parking lot usually has plenty of cars in it, so it will be interesting to see what happens to the store here. I never go in there so it won’t directly affect me.
