WALGREEN CO Profile

Walgreen offers an old-fashioned tonic for fiscal fitness: quality over quantity and homespun growth rather than growth through acquisitions. It works. While Walgreen has fewer stores than its closest rival CVS, it is #1 in the nation in sales. Walgreen operates some 6,250 stores in 49 states and Puerto Rico, and has three mail order facilities. Prescription drugs account for nearly two-thirds of sales; the rest comes from general merchandise, over-the-counter medications, cosmetics, and groceries. Walgreen usually builds rather than buys stores, so it can pick prime locations. For added convenience, more than 80% of its stores offer drive-through pharmacies, and almost all offer one-hour photo processing.
