Walgreens plans to close 1,200 stores over three years. After 70 closed September to November 2024, 450 more will close in 2025, the company says.

Walgreens will close five Chicago stores next month, part of the Deerfield-based pharmacy chain’s plan to shutter 1,200 locations by 2027.

Customers received a letter stating the location on 2nd Street, closest to North Middle School, will close February 20.

Five Walgreens stores will shutter their doors in Chicago next month, as part of a nationwide series of closures announced by the drugstore last year.

Walgreens announced in 2024 it would be closing about 1,200 stores across the U.S. as it struggles with slumping consumer spending. The company plans to close about 500 stores in fiscal 2025, which ends in August 2025.
