Walgreens Boots Alliance says it has agreed to be acquired by private equity firm Sycamore Partners as the struggling retailer looks to turn itself around after years of losing money.
So, in about 5 years, the only physical retail pharmacies for PPO plans in the US will be CVS, Costco, Walmart, and Kroger owned companies. Walgreens will be picked to the bone and Rite Aid is currently dying.
What’s wild is from my perspective and location, CVS and Walgreens are already gone. They still have stores here but they’re so understafffed and poorly managed that they’re unusable.
CVS and Walgreens are everywhere. I’ve lived in several cities and always see them. CVS is also in Targets. I use them. Very good pharmacy. I don’t think they’re going anywhere anytime soon.

Every Rite Aid became a wallgreens near me. We have 3 options (if you include Costco) soon to be twi options.

Don’t forget Amazon Pharmacy.
Does that have physical locations?
And, if so, how flammable are they?
