As far as I know, they close too often now, an hour here, half an hour there, for the most ridiculous reasons. Walgreens gained such a large market share, due in large part to the Ubiquity of its twenty-four hour pharmacies. Really, I'm talking about Houston having no less than 30 twenty-four hour Walgreen locations in 2001. They didn't have stores closing because they weren't making enough, on the contrary, they have been posting record profits year after year. They just discovered that it was more expensive to care for them. It's much cheaper to treat them like junk, as their only real competition, "Eckerd's," did just that when Walgreens was America's trusted pharmacy. Eckerd's is no more, as of 2005. Time for more antitrust legislation!
