Brookshire Grocery Co. is selling its in-store pharmacies.
The Tyler, Texas-based grocery store operator said that Walgreens will acquire its 120 pharmacies in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, including pharmacy customer prescription files and related pharmacy inventory. Most of the locations are being converted to Walgreens pharmacies that will operate inside of Brookshire Grocery Co. (BCG) stores, but, as part of the agreement, a select few pharmacy locations will close.
“We are excited to take this next step with Walgreens to strengthen our pharmacies and further our commitment to our employee-partners and customers that make up our BGC family,” said Brad Brookshire, chairman and CEO of Brookshire Grocery Co. “The pharmacy industry has become increasingly complex over the past few years, and it was important to us to find a business leader that has the capabilities to focus on providing exceptional pharmacy services and value to our customers.
