Retailers are still facing unfavorable situations, as the negative trend seems to continue.
Walgreens, the renowned pharmacy chain, has recently announced that it will be shutting down approximately 150 of its stores by August 2024. Regrettably, two of the stores in New Jersey have been included in the list and are scheduled to close next month.
In recent times, the business has faced some difficulties.
According to a recent Reuters report, Walgreens is set to reduce its costs by a minimum of $1 billion in 2024 as part of its continuing efforts. These efforts include closing unprofitable stores, after the pharmacy chain predicted a financial year 2024 profit that falls below Wall Street’s projections.
