In LA times article, it was announced that Walgreens will now be selling Beer and Wine in an effort to drive traffic and boost sales. "We've adjusted our retail model to respond to what we believe will be lasting changes in consumer behavior," Wasson said.
Interesting, as a result of the shift in the buying behavior of consumers, we have yet another example of a retailer changing it's business model.
Actually, this has been going on at some Walgreens in Arizona for sometime. I can think of one in Mesa that had a separate liquor area for a couple of years. Maybe AZ was a test market.
