Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA)

[big-yank]

I have been by three local Walgreens this week and noted much emptier than normal parking lots. The one store I entered is near a major hospital and is usually hopping... this time it was extremely quiet. What was especially disturing was the visible lack of Halloween candy, costumes or decorations, an empty-of-customers cold/flu aisle and nobody waiting at the pharmacy counter and nobody going through the drive-through.

I have never seen this store so empty during peak daytime hours and I have shopped there for 7 years on a regular basis.

The Walmart on the other side of town was packed, including a long line at the pharmacy counter.

This is far from a scientific study, but I would say that I found the "visibles" remarkable as a change from the norm when compared to visits, just a few weeks ago.

GLTA,
