The list of stores is a who's who of niche or old-school retailers that failed to change, with a handful of overpriced crap stores that always suffer during a recession. At least the ones on there that I've heard of, I have to assume the others are similar.

Except for Walgreens, they overexpanded something fierce and now are closing stores. There are several around me - which, when you think about it, how many Walgreens do you need in a mile radius - that have closed or consolidated down to a standalone pharmacy with just medical-related retail stuff. They're still the most expensive store in the area, I don't see how people can afford them.

Walgreens doesnt compete based upon price. They compete on niche selection, convenience, and customer service. If I want a specialty battery, moleskin bandage, or tube of sunscreen...Walgreens will have it. And they're usually a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of employees to customers, so I'm not going to wait in the checkout line for 20 minutes. If I'm going to walgreens, who cares if they charge a 20% premium? I'm spending $10-20, and paying an extra couple bucks is well worth not losing 1/3 of my hourly wage standing behind some trailer park trash screaming at their autistic kids.
