In a statement, Walgreens states that it is never an easy decision to close a store and that closures are from “increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures” that are hurting their “ability to cover the costs associated with rent, staffing, and supply needs.”
“We know that our stores are important to the communities that we serve, and therefore do everything possible to improve the store performance,” Walgreens said in the statement. “When closures are necessary, like those here in San Francisco, we will work in partnership with community stakeholders to minimize customer disruptions.”
