Walgreens #storeclosures #profitability
Did you know that a quarter of Walgreens stores aren’t profitable, and many of them are facing closure? 🛒💔 Before we start panicking, let’s brainstorm some possible solutions to this issue:
-
Optimizing store locations: Perhaps some stores are situated in areas with low foot traffic. Relocating these stores to more bustling locations could increase profitability.
-
Implementing cost-cutting measures: Analyzing expenses and finding areas to cut costs could help improve the financial outlook for these struggling stores.
-
Investing in digital marketing: Boosting online visibility can drive more customers into the stores, leading to increased sales and profitability.
- Offering more exclusive in-store promotions: Providing unique deals or limited-time offers could attract more customers and boost sales.
What do you think could help turn the tide for these struggling Walgreens stores? Let’s brainstorm some solutions together! 💭💡 #retailstrategy #businessoptimization
hard to be profitable when the insurance reimburses you less than the cost to buy the medications from the wholesaler. the front end has issues with theft too.
Many businesses operate like this, for example Walmarts in rural parts of the country aren’t profitable.
The government pays Walmart subsidies to keep those stores open, among other things.
Edit: So many downvotes, y’all can’t handle the truth huh?
I predict they will blame shoplifting as part of the ongoing corporate effort to socialize their in-store security.
Considering the amount of shit I’ve seen get stolen I’m not terribly surprised. Although they were great at not giving us our benefits or appropriate pay then slashing hours to make up for “lost profits” while giving the executives tens of millions of dollars in bonuses.
Walgreens isn’t what it once was. It’s a convenience store with a pharmacy attached. That’s not to belittle the workers. They are doing the best with what they have.
Why would anyone buy anything other than prescription meds at Walgreens. Their other stuff, including over the counter meds, are way over priced.
Personally, all my prescriptions are delivered by capsule and everything else is the local grocery store.
Well, between them and CVS, they have stores across the street from each and on every other block in some cities. Way overbuilt
Once they started locking every single thing up I stopped buying anything that was locked up from them. It was 2 more minutes to the grocery store, cheaper, and dont have to wait for the 1 person running the entire store to open the cabinet.
The Walgreens near me probably _would_ be profitable, if their pharmacy could process more than one customer every 10 minutes. They are the slowest-moving humans to be found outside the DMV.
