It’s interesting to watch one of the local Walgreens pharmacies go back and forth on this issue. For years, it was a 24-hour pharmacy and a place that I admitted used several times at random hours. It then went to normal pharmacy hours for less than 6 months. It is now back to a 24-hour site.
I’d love to see the analysis on that.
- Did customers complain?
- How many scripts really get filled after hours?
- Does it pay to stay open or is it a marketing strategy?
- Alternatively, can they use it as a “central fill” and fill scripts to ship to other Walgreens that aren’t open overnight thereby reducing their workload during the day?
- What percentage of their stores will be open 24-hours?
- How many other stores did they convert from 24-hours? Are they all moving back to 24-hours also?
