Walgreens will close 450 underperforming locations in 2025. The chain is one of several shuttering stores. Here's what to know for Arizona shoppers.

Walgreens closed 70 in its fiscal first quarter and plans to shutter around 500 this year. The company runs about 8,500 locations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico as well as a few thousand stores in Europe and Asia.

Walgreens is shutting down five locations, all on the South and West sides of the city, leaving many Chicagoans without a pharmacy for miles. Alderman Desmon Yancy and Executive Director of South Shore Chamber of Commerce Tonya Trice discussed the the impact on the community and their push for a solution.
