Walgreens to close 1/7 of their store locations over the next 3 yrs.

[TheFugitive]

Walgreens has announced plans to close around 1200 locations, 1/7 of their total store count, over the next three years.

A location near me closed a couple of years ago and is now a very large Dollar Tree location.  Empty big-box pharmacies are going to increasingly become an issue for local communities.

I've seen these empty Walgreens stores reused for a couple different things. I've seen one used as a Dollar Tree, and another as a family fun center. I even saw one in Jacksonville, Florida being used as a medical center. I've seen a lot of empty ones that look like they have been vacant for years as well.
