Walgreens To Close In Downtown Rockford In 11 Days
Walgreens announced they'll be shutting down their downtown Rockford location at 1201 E. State Street later this month.
I'm actually pretty sad to see this location shut down. I've had some really crazy encounters and experiences there. From a guy sharing his entire breakup story while waiting at checkout, to seeing an elderly man get scammed out of thousands of dollars, and the electricity going out mid-shopping, I'm going to miss it!

Many Walgreens locations around the country have announced closures by the retailer. By summer of 2024, nearly 150 locations will be closed in Illinois alone. Could cutting costs play a factor in all these closures?
