Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (WBA) is a pharmacy-led health and wellbeing company in the United States. The company operates through three segments—Retail Pharmacy USA, Retail Pharmacy International, and Pharmaceutical Wholesale. As of August 31, 2020, WBA operated 9,021 retail stores under the Walgreens and Duane Reade brands, and six specialty pharmacies.
Due to an increased demand for personal protective equipment ( PPE) kits, medical equipment and immunity-boosting drugs during the COVID-19 pandemic, most pharmacy retail companies generated record sales last year. Over the last year, almost all drug stores have made an effort to expand their market reach, make needed equipment available in their stores, provide COVID-19 test facilities, and give safe and efficient services to their customers. And because new variants of coronavirus are being reported in many parts of the country, drug store sales are expected to continue.
