Re: "Generic" Walgreens?

Another interesting thought regarding this topic is that one of the Walgreens stores in Taylor, MI, is basically their typical store type but it's part of a strip mall, and this one was acquired almost 10 years ago from the independent that originally opened this store. Walgreens even remodeled it i...

According to the Minute Clinic website's locator, the one in Wyandotte, Michigan (Fort & Northline) has closed, unknown exactly when, but it was likely within the past few months. This was the only Minute Clinic location Downriver, but a few Minute Clinics remain open elsewhere in the Detroit me...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

This article on the closing Midtown Detroit Rite Aid mentions another factor in its closure that isn't corporate-related: allegedly this location had theft issues. https://www.freep.com/story/money/business/2024/03/13/rite-aid-cvs-drugstore-walgreens-closures-woodward-detroit-highland-park/729290400...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

I also find it odd they brought the liquidators in January 29 and since then they have only announced 3 store closures. Two of which were just announced yesterday: 1081 Mount Vernon Avenue in Marion, Ohio: a diamond-window store that even went as far as installing a digital marquee on the road sign...

For the past couple months, this ad was the only one I saw run on TV, on stations in both the Detroit and Toledo markets, so those new ads probably will end up on TV too.

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

Yet another round of Rite Aid closures have surfaced today. That docket has one Michigan closure--Woodhaven, which is a store that is isolated from the city's main retail area, which is on the other side of a railroad track...which leads into one of the region's major freight yards just a mile away,...
