Drugstores are an odd combination of pharmacy and convenience store. Almost everything they sell other than prescriptions is also sold in supermarkets and big box retailers like Walmart, Target and Costco. Now the big box retailers also have inhouse pharmacies, and more and more supermarkets have included pharmacies.

It’s not clear why free standing drugstores should continue to exist other than the convenience store factor. But they don’t have longer hours, and often the supermarket is just as close.

Yep

Has anyone mentioned Medicare drug plan and insurance companies determine what a pharmacy makes in prescriptions

They need front store sales

Indeed big box and groceries hurt them
