Walgreens has a coveted and rare retail outlet in skyscraper city in the West Loop and a story recently mentioned how this store doesn't have a pharmacy and if the author of the Sun Times article ever looked in this neighborhood one doesn't see a elderly person for miles. Walgreens is a rotten Chicago-based company that used government spending and tax dollars of workers to expand and build in the suburbs in a massive land grab through private and public insurers guaranteeing payments in drugs. The Walgreens corporation has done its part in spreading and promoting the opidid epidemic as foreign doctors set up practice and write drug prescriptions like nuts helping the insurers and outlets like Walgreen.
The Walgreen West Loop location just sells the basics in the crowded urban neighborhood with few buildings that offer retail sale and lack of sprawl of toilet businesses. Urban Walgreens seeks to serve the female client and clearly this Walgreens in the West Loop must be stocked with cosmetics and skin care products. Walgreens rarely has a store without a pharmacy and this was the basis of their whole business plan but increasingly more and more in areas they want to be they are limited by size and place where demographic trends show there are always going to be few old sick elderly people and these people are regulated to the outside urban fringes and in suburbia. This Walgreen is lucky to get this exclusive spot as this neighborhood would never allow a Family Dollar,Dollar Tree, and Junk Dollar franchises to [op up and this exclusivity directly plays into higher real estate values and less eye sore clutter that most everyone else has to deal with living and seeing shit stores and over-sized gas stations in America. The surrounding business allowed into an area can directly play into the overall neighborhood or suburbs decline .
