PROFILE |
 |
Walgreen proffers an old-fashioned tonic for fiscal fitness: quality over quantity and homespun growth rather than growth through acquisition. It works. Despite having fewer stores than top drugstore rivals CVS and Rite Aid, Walgreen is #1 sales. The company has more than 3,400 Walgreens stores in 43 states and Puerto Rico. Prescription drugs account for more than half of sales; the rest comes from general merchandise, over-the-counter medications, cosmetics, and groceries. Walgreen builds rather than buys stores, so it can pick prime, high-traffic locations. For added convenience, about half of its stores offer drive-through pharmacies, and most offer one-hour photo processing.
