We like Walgreens but it has gone from normal
Prices to sone of the highest prices in town on much of its merchandise. Customers are leaving it in droves.
several years ago, walgreens built a store on practically every corner of our Front Range town; several closed almost right away ... one was converted to a Harbor Freight, so not all was lost ... walgreens and cvs sell practically everything at full retail price, so i don’t know how they stay in business, particularly since almost everything they sell can bought WAY cheaper from the big box stores here and/or amazon ...
“Our customers have become increasingly selective and price-sensitive in their purchases,”
So much so that the customers simply take stuff.
But times have changed. I expect "underperforming" strongly correlates with high crime, in neighborhoods that were never exactly low crime.
My last interaction with that company went “Have a nice day”
And my response “#### you.”
Tremendously incompetent staff. And this was five years ago.
What happened to all that extra cash to trash ivermectin.. from taxpayers wallets.
it’s a great plan. saturate the market, undercut everyone else and put them out of business - esp the locals - and then go out of business yourself.
win - win!
