Walgreens scales back 2026 store closure plans
Walgreens, operating under new private ownership since 2025, is closing fewer than 100 stores in 2026 as part of a store optimization strategy, significantly down from its initial projection of 700 closures. The company has cited expiring leases, underperforming sales, and safety concerns as reasons for the reduced closures.
