Pharmacy chain <a href="/topics/walgreens/">Walgreens</a> is aiming for 500 store closures in fiscal 2025 and 1,200 over the next three years, parent company Walgreens Boots Alliance announced Tuesday.

The move is meant to streamline the chain’s operations amid a drop in earnings in fiscal 2024. All the closings will be in the U.S., according to The Associated Press.
