| #7 By the article, all the major pharmacies had similar suits but have settled. RiteAid had more cash flow issues so they were unable to use the same plan. Maybe RiteAid makes it out; maybe they don’t. I don’t see any advantage to CVS or Walgreens buying them. They all have stores on the same blocks. If they whack stores, it will be in inverse order of profitability. The locations with excess theft will not make the cut. |

| #3 #2 lawsuits that accused them of oversupplying opioids Without prescriptions or not? Kinda seems to make a difference Posted by: Frank G 2023-10-16 07:00 Frank, The reasoning - as I understand it - is that the drugstores 'should have known' that something was wrong and refused to fill the prescriptions.
