SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Walgreens joins the list of business closings.
Walgreens plans to close 200 stores in the U.S.
Earlier this year the company announced they would close 200 stores in the U.K.
“As previously announced, we are undertaking a transformational cost management program to accelerate the ongoing transformation of our business, enable investments in key areas and to become a more efficient enterprise,” the company said in a statement.
A Walgreens spokesman said the company does not plan to release the complete list of store closures and declined to share any more details about which locations will close.
The announcement marks Walgreens’ largest round of closures since 2015 when it also closed 200 stores. Its parent company, which bought 1,932 Rite Aid locations in 2018, has since closed 631 of those stores and plans to shutter another 119.
