How Walgreens is Transforming the Traditional Drug Store

By Joe Keenan

With its acquisition of drugstore.com in 2011, Walgreens now operates five e-commerce sites — Walgreens.com, drugstore.com, Beauty.com, VisionDirect.com and DuaneReade.com (which Walgreens acquired in 2010). The drugstore.com acquisition helped Walgreens to not only gain 60,000 more SKUs, but also seasoned e-commerce professionals and an extensive distribution network. Now with 8,000 distribution centers across the country, Walgreens is able to offer same-day delivery for many online purchases.
