There's a bunch in NO because they're the company that bought K&B


Was K&B locally owned? I remember them being around years ago.

I only go to Walgreens. I like their rewards program. I get around $20 off purchases every 2 months or so just by shopping there for small stuff and picking up my prescriptions there.

Hmmmm...so they have to pay you to use them? And prices? May want to look around. There's a reason Walgreen's workers here come get meds from local pharmacies. It's often substantially cheaper even with their store discount.

Rite Aid's have GNC products. And some BCBS ins. carriers require you only get your prescriptions from them.

Will the GNC health products be carried over?

We have several Rite Aid's around here. One of them already closed like a year ago because none of them have any business.



I haven't seen one of those in years.

We have one in Savannah. However they always seem pissed off when you walk through their doors. Like you are interrupting a robbery.

I was talking about where I live at in AZ. There is not a single Rite Aid in the entire state of AZ anymore.
