Walgreens to close 600 stores

Walgreens announced today it would close 600 stores in early 2018 as a result of its recent purchase of 1,900 Rite-Aid pharmacies.

No details were given on which stores would be closing, if any of them would be in the Joplin area, most of the stores that will be shuttered will be the former Rite-Aid locations.

The Rite-Aid deal makes Walgreens the largest pharmaceutical chain in the United States with more than 13,200 stores.

    8:56, I am no fan of Trump, but why do you think he is to blame for this? Walgreens bought out Rite-Aid to protect their markets. Most of the stores they will be closing are Rite-Aids.

    It was said in jest, We heard 'thanks Obama' for 8 years, remember? Now who's special? Why do Repubs always go to the name calling online? Sad. (get it?)

    8:38, It's because Trump didn't have anything to do with this. Obama, however, WAS the reason for the sarcastic thank you's. Get it?
