Publishing timestamp: 2024-10-22 12:03:02


Summary

Walmart is starting to deliver prescriptions to customers' doorsteps in six states, with plans to expand to 49 states by the end of January. This move comes as CVS and Walgreens are closing stores to improve profits. Walmart's delivery service will cost $9.95 but will be free for Walmart+ members. CVS and Walgreens are facing challenges due to falling reimbursement rates for prescription drugs and are cutting costs by closing stores.
