San Francisco losing another Walgreens store months after 'retail crime' shuttered 5 locations

Walgreens said Thursday it plans to close another store in San Francisco this month, four months after the company closed several in the city due to "organized retail crime," according to a report. 

"As we continue to execute our strategy to expand Walgreens role as a leader in the delivery of 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," a Walgreens spokesperson told SFGate. "There are a number of factors that we take into consideration when opening and closing locations, including dynamics of the local market and changing buying habits of our customers."

Last November, Walgreens closed five stores in the Northern California city.
