Walgreens Ready to ‘Blur Retail Channels’ in Stores Across U.S.

If you enter a Walgreens and it looks more like an upscale sushi bar or a grocery store than a pharmacy, that's OK with Chief Executive Gregory Wasson. It's actually by design and part of the "Well Experience" concept that will be rolled out in more Walgreens stores this year as the company pushes further beyond the traditional look of a drugstore with a pharmacy counter in back to a variety of looks that also emphasize fresh food, beauty supplies and an array of private-label products.
