Walgreens is set to close a substantial number of its roughly 8,600 locations across the United States as the company looks to reset the struggling pharmaceutical chain’s business.

The company didn’t announce a specific number of store closures, but it said Thursday that it is planning “significant” closures of underperforming stores across America as part of a multiyear optimization program.

Maybe they shouldn’t try to be looked to as a source of health and medicines and yet sell alcohol and cigarettes? 🤢

And let their employees enforce their beliefs onto customers.

I stopped going there when they started letting the pharmacists decide if their religious beliefs would allow my doctor's treatment.
