<p style="font-weight: 400;">President Biden’s economy has now claimed another victim: Walgreens.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">According to Walgreens Boots Alliance CEO Tim Wentworth, the chain, which is 123 years old, will shut down a significant number of its 8,600 stores across the nation. Wentworth told <a href="https://www.wsj.com/health/walgreens-plans-major-u-s-store-closures-0b04a96e?mod=hp_lead_pos4">The Wall Street Journal</a> that the company is examining roughly one-quarter of its stores and could close a “meaningful percent” of them.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Retail pharmacy is central to our future and to our overall customer and patient experience. It enables many other things, but it has to change,” Wentworth stated.</p>
<p>Noting the increase in theft from its stores, Wentworth said Walgreens wants cities to help by “investing in public safety so that our customers and employees feel safe.”</p>
<p>“The retail industry is going through a tough time as it copes with inflation-weary consumers and a rash of bankruptcies, prompting chains to announce the closures of almost 3,200 brick-and-mortar stores so far in 2024, according to a new analysis,” CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/store-closures-surging-2024-family-dollar-rue21-cvs-rite-aid/">reported</a> in May.</p>
<p>“Nearly 20,000 businesses have warned they&#8217;re at risk of closing if President Joe Biden is elected to a second term,” Newsweek<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/thousands-businesses-warn-theyre-risk-closing-1902087"> stated</a> in mid-May. “In a new report from RedBalloon and PublicSquare, nearly half of the 80,000 small businesses surveyed said they ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ will not survive another four years with Biden.”</p>
<p>“It&#8217;s been a difficult three years for America&#8217;s small businesses,” Michael Seifert, PublicSquare CEO, said. “While many inside the Beltway may feel like things are good, that isn&#8217;t translating to Main Street America—the frontlines of our small business economy.”</p>
<p>In March, Dollar Tree <a href="https://apnews.com/article/dollar-tree-discount-inflation-16f0d9b7e2d41d95ee6e6402d96169d0">announced</a> it would close roughly 1,000 stores, 600 Family Dollar stores in the first half of 2024 and 370 Family Dollar and 30 Dollar Tree stores over the next few years.</p>
<p>In May 2023, Joshua Kobza, CEO of Restaurant Brands International Inc., which owns Burger King, <a href="https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/rbi-says-up-to-400-burger-kings-may-close-in-us-this-year/649146/">said</a> 300 to 400 U.S. Burger Kings would be closed by the end of 2023.</p>
