Walgreens #17880 - front exterior view

            What can I say..... here's my old stomping grounds of the past, with a whitewashed exterior. So, how did we get here?
Here's the backstory: In 2015, Walgreens and Rite Aid had announced that they were merging with each other. A couple of years later, they called off the merger due to rising antitrust concerns at the time. The merger was aborted, right? Later in 2017, Walgreens instead decided to buy half of the Rite Aid stores in several states, including North Carolina; the deal was subsequently completed by 2018.
This store, along with several others in Rowan County, were one of the many Rite Aids affected by the deal. Guess what? The two stores in Salisbury were closed due to their proximity to existing Walgreens stores; on the other hand, the Rite Aid in China Grove survived; however, it became the very Walgreens we see in this photo today. This store was originally an Eckerd that opened on September 24th, 2000, and later became a Rite Aid in the summer/fall of 2007.
