Strikes me as a sleazy move – but not uncommon in the corporate world. Remember Pharmaca?
“Why is Pharmaca closing?
The closure came after Walgreens’ purchased Medly Health, which owned 22 Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacies and four Medly Pharmacies in the United States. Walgreens paid $19.35 million in the transaction, which on Feb. 7 was approved by a judge in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.”
Bartell’s pharmacy has gone from bad to worse since the Rite Aid takeover. It was time to switch pharmacies, but = where to? The options for getting good service anywhere, pharmacy or other, are getting slim to non-existent.
