Florida Walgreens stores face potential closure as 1,200 locations to shutter

Walgreens Boots Alliance, the parent company of the eponymous drugstore chain, says it will close 1,200 stores within the next three years with about 500 of those shutting down in fiscal 2025.

The Illinois company announced the closures Tuesday in an earnings call. It did not, however, disclose which stores would shutter, but it's highly unlikely that Florida will be spared.

According to Locationscloud.com, a website focused on retail store location data, the chain operates 801 stores in the state, making up 9% of the company’s footprint. That number translates into one pharmacy for every 26,814 people.
