Walgreens Closing Drugstore.com And Beauty.com

[CeeLex33]

From the article:

With easy-to-remember names like drugstore.com and beauty.com, one might expect these Walgreens-owned websites to be doing gangbusters business. Yet the retailer says it will shutter both sites by the end of September.

Five years after Walgreens bought the sites, it says it will shut them down in order to concentrate on its own online presence, The Seattle Times reports.

“Over the past year, we have been focusing on building new omnichannel capabilities on Walgreens.com…,” Walgreens spokesman Phil Caruso said. “After careful consideration, we have decided to shut down drugstore.com and Beauty.com. We intend to focus on Walgreens.com.”

Oh no!
Drugstore.com has been my mainstay for 17 years. I will not be signing up with Walgreen's, so Amazon.com will get my $.

I'm sad to see Drusgstore.com go to
It sounds like they will be open for a bit longer though, at least through September.

UGH...most of my stash came from them. They ran good haircare sales. I always checked there first when I was running low on anything.

What??? "They" just KEEP ON messing with me and my stuff. No more Aubrey and now THIS. I've been able to get products that I haven't been able to find in store and they also had great sales, like every week. I also loved their cash back program. And their delivery was super quick. I just bought my epilator from there at a pretty good price. I'm going to really miss them.

Seriously. Walgreens better have damn good sales online from now on because their in store sales do not compare at all. And they better have the same brands/products available.

I wonder where the merchandise is going. Could be some deep discounts.

I wonder why they bought them only to close them? To cut out competition? I loved drugstore.com. They used to send me little samples with my purchases.

This is exactly what I was thinking.
