Thats pretty huge, but thats bound to happen no because Walgreens also owns Rite Aid now? I think its bad when competition buys competition as you can see here the effects of it. In my city we have a Walgreens next door next to right aid if thats the case now one will close.
It stinks for the affected workers, but 200 is a tiny fraction of their 9,500-some stores.
Good news for Kmart pharmacy.
When you've got CVS now inside Target, it's pointless to go to Walgreen's.
No reason to shop at a Walgreens anymore. You can find the same merchandise/pharmacy at your local Kroger
