Retailers are doing all they can to prevent extinction, and this includes shutting down underperforming stores. One of the retailers that have been consistently closing are pharmacies and drug stores. This is especially painful because these closures interrupt people's lives as they scramble to find alternate stores to refill their prescription medications. One of those retailers is Walgreens.

Walgreens plans on shuttering 500 stores this year, and there are a bunch of Massachusetts stores on the list. One thing to note is that there are many online articles listing Walgreens stores that will close this year, while in fact some of them have already closed. Below is a list of Walgreens stores that have already closed in Massachusetts and a list of those that haven't closed but are on the chopping block.
