Another Walgreens is closing in the Bay Area.
The location at 2190 Shattuck Ave. in Berkeley is set to close permanently Aug. 23, as first reported in Berkeleyside. Walgreens would have needed to vacate the building eventually, as it will be torn down to make way for a new 25-story residential tower, part of a large development of buildings in the city.
Berkeleyside reports that many shelves at the store are already bare, but plenty of merchandise is still available at a big discount. Prescriptions will be transferred to the Walgreens at 2310 Telegraph Ave.
“As we move forward on our strategy to expand Walgreens role as a leader in the delivery of local healthcare, we are focused on creating the right network of stores in the right locations to best meet the needs of the communities we serve,” Walgreens wrote in a statement provided to SFGATE. “We have made the difficult decision to close this location. There are a number of factors that we take into consideration including dynamics of the local market and changing buying habits of our customers.”
There are three Walgreens stores left in Berkeley: 2310 Telegraph Ave., 10 Gilman St. and 2801 Adeline St.
The pharmacy chain has been closing down stores across the Bay Area for the past few years. While Walgreens has blamed crime in the past, the company has also noted it sought to consolidate stores in an effort to cut costs. California Gov. Gavin Newsom also took aim at Walgreens earlier this year after the company announced that it would not be shipping abortion medication to at least 20 states across the U.S. It’s unclear what that means for the state’s relationship with Walgreens.

True. Unfortunetely.
Re: ‘they (Kalifornia) voted for this’
There are only ‘selections’ in Kalifornia now. The Obama / Biden Regime learned from the Kalifornia democRATS how to ‘select’ in the Federal system.
During the last Kalifornia selection, Newscum announced he had ‘won’ three minutes after the polls closed. They had ‘drop boxes’ for ballot stuffing all over Kalifornia. ALL Kalifornia ‘selections’ are now only by mail.
You’ve touched on an interesting idea.
Do a Web search on “why vote” and see what you come up with. Not specific to California.
I wonder if there would be some sort of backlash to voting if it dawned on people that the vote/election process is so much make believe and theater and doesn’t affect the outcome decided by the Big People.
What if they gave an election and no one came?
Spreading south of Oakland now…nice job, leftists.
Smile...
Yeah.
Oh, I was thinking of the Temescal Walgreen’s. I guess that’s Oakland.
“Cabrini-Green West, or what we informally refer to as “chocolate layer cake”.

I didn’t know they stacked shit that high.”
It’s very disturbing reading the horribly racist remarks being posted on Free Republic. Satan is succeeding with so many...I offer to you with such hatred the living Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Put your hatred and fear aside, open your hearts to God’s loving grace.
Racist! how will the surrounding neighborhoods survive with out a place to loot. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if the state will now fund stores who offer to serve the loot community
Not disturbing at all. Hopefully more wake up to the reality that living with these people is literally killing our own people and culture. This it has always been and will always be. We are not the same and we are not compatible.
Walgreens has closed stores where I live too. They overbuilt.
