If it’s mainly the locations in high-crime areas, good for them.
The chicongo mayor wants government run grocery stores why not government run pharmacies? Free drugs!
Wow…talk about coincidence.
We have a discount, thrift store about 20 miles from me Called Borden Bargains.
They sell a mixture of things on pallets from Amazon etc But it’s not a normal bargain place …it’s BIG and nice, clean and well ordered for example they were selling Blueberry protein bars at 10c each, and they were very good and fresh.
Wife just called me and said they are closing in about 4 days.
My GOD! If nice discount stores are starting to close people are really hurting. I think the true state if the economy is being covered up.
‘Drugstores’ as a whole are nearing obsolescence.
Why go to a high priced ‘drugstore’ when every Walmart, Target, Sam’s, and Grocery Chain has a pharmacy?..................
Doesn’t suprise me ... for something like 18 months my wife was getting coupons for $5. As long as you didn’t go over the $5 you could walk out without having to pay anything.
This wasn’t monthly but weekly. Every week she’d go in - find something(s) up to the $5 limit and walk out at most paying 25 cents and usually 0. Sometimes the idiots do it to themselves.
Parts of America really ARE going to be nothing more than Ghost Towns in the future.
It was fun while it lasted. Thanks again, Socialist Democrats and FECKLESS GOPe pukes! :(
Should have picked their own damn cotton.
Looks like many shoplifting communities will become drugstore deserts. There were always too many huge drugstores. Walgreens closed down 2 nearby me. One is left.
What always amused me is that 90% pf the customers are women. They love that drugstore vibe. The ol ladies are addicted to coupon clipping at CVS and Walgreens. And where you can buy pizza and ice cream etc.
One of our “diversity strengths takes down another American business with their rampant thievery. Congrats! (<- “Highly offensive racial slur”) America!.
I hate that stores are starting to disappear. Buying on line can be disappointing.
Drugstores getting into primary care and healthcare technology is very promising. I just don’t understand why they can’t do more to prevent shoplifting, or even what is propelling this sudden “rampant increase.” ??
I am not seeing a problem. Unless places like Chicago and California mandate that companies put stores in areas where the local governments choose.
Remember when the only convenience stores were the 7-Elevens, and maybe one other national brand? They were really prevalent. Then someone copied the model and we had all these generic convenience stores.
Also, the original convenience stores did not have gas pumps 50 years ago. Now, that issue concerns me A LOT. We need to have access to gasoline.
Let the market decide (a la Adam Smith, and classical economics).
How do you like them apples, you idiot “Defund the Police” activists?
Now they will bitch about “pharmacy deserts” and it’s a short jump to progressive cities saying “Capitalism failed. We need to protect our democracy. We must have city-owned and operated pharmacies.”
Everything worked well in America until a smarmy know-nothing bastard came on the scene out of nowhere and said “We must transform America.”
Just a hunch, but I’m guessing they won’t be closing any in my area.
A lot of people are getting their
meds online and shipped through the
mail or UPS, myself included (insulin)
rather than using prescrip dept/drive
thru at a Walgreens or CVS. But still
need to go to a drugstore (or dept
store medical dept) for vitamins, etc
Of course there’s a different type
of stealing when people order
stuff by mail—”porch pirates” who
grab delivered packages.
USPS (my employer) processes thousands
of pills/medicines. Although I use
Walgreens for some of my medicines,
CVS handles prescrip drugs through
the federal Blue Cross system.
So CVS does do some medicine that
way.
Shutting down 10% makes sense, CVS is on every corner and I’m sure they are having difficulty staffing them.
Let’s go Brandon!
Be sure to thank your Democrat friends, neighbors, coworkers and relatives.
Good. Their stores are really ghetto anyway.
I use CVS. I have their Carepass/Extracare, too. Small annual fee, 20% off their brands, $10 to spend each month and a ton of stackable coupons. I usually stop there once a month...and stock up. My bills cut in half. You just have to watch the coupon ex. dates. Saved almost $500 this year. I love it. At least once a month I get a 25% or 35% off entire purchase coupon. It adds up.
