I heard from a friend in the banking services, that Wal-mart has strategic location plans for Moving into the Mini Mart sector with limited Pharmacy services, These are designed to be competing with the Walgreens stores and become revenue servers to the larger selection at the supercenters..
Did you see the Walgreens A/B video Presentation???
Walgreens is not set up like A/B, to work with Brands, unless Walgreens sells off it's 15 distribution Centers to Alliance Boots and KKR, A/B secret sauce will remain for the 2nd step and the final Step for Walgreens managers.
The DOJ and DEA have some stunning interviews/employee reports according to their recent legal Court fileing as to how far this was communicated into the C-suite, and the total dismissal for public safety.
That E-mail is damaging to Walgreens Co., as well the Safety Controls they enforced for Class 2 drugs that the DEA requires..
Now Wades DWI, did not shake the S/P, however this is not a Barney of Mayberry investigation, the DEA controls Walgreens ability to stay in the billion dollar Rx Business..
Walgreen C. managers have dragged this out, according to the DOJ and should a settlement be reached during this 3 week hearing the stockholder will not be pleased with the outcome, perhaps a Exon type CDO will appear on the market to pay for this failure..
GLTA!!!
