- Walgreens just opened a redesigned store in a downtown Chicago neighborhood where most of the merchandise is intentionally kept out of sight.
- Retail experts say keeping all merchandise out of reach sure is an effective way to combat rising incidents of shoplifting in America.
- The new Walgreens store now has only two aisles for shoppers to peruse for their everyday needs, such as over-the-counter medication, bath and body care supplies, batteries, Band-aids, and grab-and-go snacks.
- Most everything else you expect you find at the drugstore chain is kept in an in-store fulfillment area, which is off-limits to shoppers.
