I can't remember the last time I went in any of these stores. We get prescriptions from Stop & Shop who are way better than either CVS or Walgreens. There's a small local privately owned corner shop I use if we want something from around the corner.

Near where I live, I can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting at least 3-4 Walgreens.

I use Walgreens only for photos, and boy that would be a shame if that service ends. Photos prints are quality, cheap, and the app is very easy to use.

CVS is in worse shape than Walgreen's...
Is it really? I knew Walgreens was going to close a bunch of stores. I hadn’t heard about CVS.
Talking about breaking it up...

They were really focused on inter-divisional synergies when I talked to them a year ago. It’s a way for them to justify all the M&A by showing the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
We brought them an idea of using the retail pharmacy to boost their speciality pharmacy business. Basically use info from the retail side to find people with AATD, each of which could potentially bring 150k annually in top line revenue for CVS specialty.
In the end their lawyers killed the idea because the in-home test we were proposing had big pharma branding.

Sad.

Growing up in Virginia I thought 7-11s were nationwide since they're so ubiquitous in the mid-Atlantic. Now in Minnesota, I'm just glad I found a gas station (Speedway) that I guess is a 7-11 partner since they have slurpees.

In Taiwan, there are so so many also. More than 5000 in a country that is not too much bigger than Vermont. But 7-11 Taiwan has the best steamed buns (and tea eggs)!
(Japan has over 21,000 7-11's)

In Japan's 7-11s they have fish ball skewers dunked in curry.
