Walgreens is a retail pharmacy that is known for being in the U.S., but it has expanded its business internationally. Walgreens has stores in 25 other countries from its partnership with Boots Alliance, with Europe being the main one. With businesses you must weigh the risks versus the benefits when thinking about international expansion. Walgreens benefits do outweigh the risks. Pharmacy is a part of the world that is never going away because people will always need medications, whether it be maintenance medications for medical conditions or medications for a short treatment duration. The expansion benefits Walgreens because it has an integrated system. Sometimes patients will need medications while they are on vacation, if it is too soon to get it before they leave, they can visit a Walgreens where they are going, and they will be able to see their whole profile and fill what they need. This also allows Walgreens to have ties internationally and allow them to order products internationally when needed.
