Walgreens' Fresh-Food Stores Exceeding Expectations
Walgreens' 12 stores with expanded fresh-food departments in predominantly African-American neighborhoods are exceeding expectations, CEO Greg Wasson told the Chicago Sun-Times. The company added 150 fresh foods to the stores it operates in food deserts and is working with urban farmers to supply them. It also plans to expand the number of high-end locations equipped with sushi bars and upscale merchandise, the story said.
