Walgreens to close 1,200 US stores
SUMMARY: Walgreens plans to close approximately 1,200 U.S. stores over the next three years to address its struggling business. About 500 closures are expected in the current fiscal year. The company operates around 8,500 U.S. locations and aims to improve earnings and cash flow through these closures. Walgreens has faced challenges like tight prescription reimbursements and rising operational costs. Additionally, it is reassessing its healthcare ventures and may sell part of its VillageMD clinic business. Despite a net loss exceeding $3 billion in Q4 2024, sales grew by 6%, and shares saw a 5% increase following the announcement.
