ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Walgreens plans to close a west St. Louis County store along a busy Manchester Road corridor.
The pharmacy chain said it would close its location at 14529 Manchester Road, in Manchester, on Feb. 28.
A spokesperson for Deerfield, Illinois-based Walgreens said that "when faced with the difficult decision to close a location, several factors are taken into account, including our existing footprint of stores, dynamics of the local market, and changes in the buying habits of our patients and customers, among other reasons."
The spokesperson said the chain's goal is to be "the independent partner of choice, not just in pharmacy but also in health care services where we can improve health care, lower costs, and help patients," and that it is "creating the right network of stores in the right locations."
