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.
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.
Glad you’ve had good experiences. Seeing them everywhere is irrelevant to my point, the physical locations still exist and they’re still “open” and accepting customers but it’s not realistic to actually get service there because it takes days to get medicine and then an hour or more wait at the store to actually get a pharmacist to hand it to you.
It’s all anecdotal, but in my region they’re dead.

Where do you live? I live(d) in the largest metros in the U.S, and have used 5 different CVS pharmacies. Only one was kind of iffy, and it was right by a major state university. The one I currently go to gets the meds the next or even same day, and I rarely wait. Even the busier ones at peak times, I never waited more than 30 minutes.
