Independent Pharmacy Marketing Kit for CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid Store Closures
As of November 2024, 2,300+ pharmacies have closed their doors. The large chain pharmacies are not immune from the changes in the pharmacy industry, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid stores are closing at an alarming rate. Additionally, there have been pharmacy worker walkouts protesting understaffing which leads to poor service for patients. We know that in independent pharmacy you go above and beyond for the best service and patient outcomes possible and would gladly do the same for the patients affected by store closures and the larger chains leaving them behind.
