Lucky’s Market
Another natural foods supermarket has thrown in the (recycled paper) towel after failing to compete with Whole Foods. Lucky’s Market, based in Colorado and known for its slogan “Organic for the 99 percent,” filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late January, announcing the closure of 32 of its 39 locations in ten states. The company planned to sell the remaining seven, according to media reports.
CVS
CVS planned to close about two dozen of its drugstores in 2020, roughly half as many as it did in 2019. You’ll be able to find a CVS on nearly every corner because there will be roughly 9,900 locations left. The MinuteClinic locations, which provide basic walk-in medical services, are the focus of the local pharmacy and retail chain. The clinics have been installed in over 1,100 stores so far. If you need a flu shot, suspect a bladder infection, or want your cholesterol checked, you’ve come to the right place.
