Walgreens is set to close a substantial number of its roughly 8,600 locations across the United States as the company looks to reset the struggling pharmaceutical chain’s business.

The company didn’t announce a specific number of store closures, but it said Thursday that it is planning “significant” closures of underperforming stores across America as part of a multiyear optimization program.

Walgreens went off the rails with shitty pharmacy practices awhile back. It was surreal.

"Your life saving medication is in another castle, Mario. Go fuck yourself." sums up the experience.

So yeah, good riddance, Walgreens.
