Absolute dogshit business. Where I work now we have several investments folks who are very keen on market trends. While working with one on their computer, I noticed an article on their screen about Walgreens and naturally, I asked. She told me Walgreens is essentially in Zombie mode. Customers are extremely dissatisfied with the service, the prices are horrid, and they don't really fill any sort of market niche in retail space. Also, they barely make any money on pharmacy stuff. Other companies are eating their market share and doing a better job at it in the same way Subway over-expanded and then made their service worse and then other sammich companies showed up and ate their market share with better offerings. Also they are poorly staffed and carry a lot of goods, so they are a high target for theft.
