A Walgreens store in Aurora, Colorado, will be closing next month, citing 'increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures.' However, local officials and customers believe shoplifting is the real culprit, echoing similar concerns raised when a Walmart Neighborhood Market closed at the same intersection earlier this year.
AURORA , Colo. — Another retail closure is coming to a troubled intersection on E. Colfax Avenue in Aurora . The Walgreens store at Havana Street and E. Colfax Avenue will close next month. Walmart shuttered its Neighborhood Market store at the same intersection in June.'It's a very busy intersection,' said Walgreens customer David Willmann.But after Nov. 13, Willmann and many others will have to find a new pharmacy. 'It’s going to be an inconvenience,' he said.
Aurora City Councilman Steve Sundberg said shoplifting is to blame for the Walgreens shutdown as well.'I spoke with the manager, and he pointed at this bus stop in which he pointed to a couple of people who come in day in and day out stealing with no consequences whatsoever. That's pillaging. That affects their bottom line,' said Sundberg.
