Walgreens closing more stores - chairman - 08-05-2026
Walgreens is continuing to close some locations amid its multiyear turnaround program – however the closures may be fewer than expected.
The drugstore chain, acquired by private equity firm Sycamore Partners in August 2025 has closed about dozen locations recently, according to business news site Inc. and local media reports. Before the acquisition, Walgreens said it planned to close about 1,200 underperforming stores across the U.S. as part of a turnaround strategy.
