Walgreens to close 150 stores in the US....

[1srelluc]

I paid off our student loans and then some because of that little feud. I can't complain too loudly about their idiocy....but when your city goes from having no Walgreens to a Walgreens across from just about every CVS in a matter of a couple years, you have to question the wisdom of what they were doing. CVS started buying the corners opposite them when they opened new locations just to block them.

In my town CVS bought out Rite Aid.

Looking at Walgreens store map in my AO they have five stores. Most look to be in non-vibrant middle and upper middle class areas.

Eh. The market's saturated with drug stores anyway

The labor participation rate tells a frightening story. Look at the 5 year rates on the graph.

Obviously another example of the booming Biden economy and the diligent efforts of Democrat Prosecuting Attorney's tough on crime crackdowns on shoplifting across the country.

No list yet of which stores will be affected...but the usual suspects will likely be the top of the list.

All the Democrat run major metro areas...and there will be the ubiquitous rejoinders of "food desert" and underserved communities...that somehow never manage to come to terms with the concept of cause and effect....

Illinois-Based Walgreens To Close 150 Stores By Next August

We don't have a list yet that identifies which Walgreens stores in Illinois and across the nation are being selected for permanent closure, but it'll be coming out soon.

The article says this:

WBA, the parent company of Walgreens, said the decision is part of a transformation into a "consumer-centric healthcare company."

I don't see anything about Biden's economy or shoplifting laws. Do you have any other sources that back up your assertion?

It was inevitable with or without Joe. Walgreens got a little OCD about opening locations across from CVS no matter what price they had to pay to get the land, whether that was even a good location, and no matter what the market looked like. If CVS was there, Walgreens wanted to be across the street.

Here it was the other way around. Walgreens came first. Infact years before CVS.

Walgreens actually has a decent food and drinks section. Small towns and inner cities rely on them for lots of things. But companies can only tolerate losses from theft for so long.

Plus very good sales on things like laundry soap,Paper products and hygiene items.

Or that they can't keep pharm staff..I had script called into Walgreens and they had no pharmacy worker could not fill script or transfer it to another Walgreens..never again. Will I use them

Vigilante justice will supplant de-funded law enforcement for better or worse. Murder is illegal by any means.

Right, you support vigilante justice and you're enraged enough to admit it.

 

[leftwinger]

It is. Prices at both chains are ridiculous.

I know. But when things get down to WalMart presciptions (goods, foods etc.) or nothing? Then they can charge whatever with DNC blessing? We saw that in Fauci Flu. As long as you pay DNC you can remain open.

SHUP loon. I am sure they will not miss dealing with the likes of you and your klan.

Where did he say he supported it, dumbass. put up or crawl back up Hillary's ass and play with her hemorrhoids.

The federal reserve and the media and the bureaucrats in DC are hiding the bad economy...

The facts aren't hiding. Best jobs president ever. Lower inflation then nearly every Western country. Highest stock market ever.

Great job Biden.

Or they could just throw billions of socialist money at big pharma like we saw with the Trump vaccine.

I wonder if it's corporate incompetence?

Incompetence? No. It is getting away from Black thugs and homeless cretins stealing them blind.

More of a sign of change in the industry.

People are getting prescription drugs by mail in growing numbers.

Part of the Progressive plot to divide the nation into the Elites and the slaves. It never ends well for the Elites.

The “slaves” don’t give a shit.

Isn't working in that environment incompetence?

Isn't working in that environment incompetence?

No. STAYING there is incompetence. Getting out is smart.

Didn't they stay there at first? Isn't that how they lost so much?

Was it Biden's fault when Walgreens closed 200 stores back in 1016/17?

Obama's fault.
