Special Report:Walgreens
Walgreens’ management and shareholders were long accustomed to steady, record-breaking gains in sales and earnings and a pedal-to-the-metal store-development strategy that made Walgreens the nation¹s fastest-growing pharmacy retailer and a market leader in cities across the country. But today the crown jewel of chain drug store retailing is struggling with a scary economic outlook, a consumer afraid to open her wallet, and a new breed of integrated health care retailer, exemplified by the company¹s arch-rival, CVS Caremark, that blends the customer drawing power and data-generating abilities of thousands of stores with the market-moving clout of a massive pharmacy benefit management capability. Anchored by an exclusive interview with new CEO Greg Wasson, this special report examines what Walgreens is doing to recapture its mojo, bringing its cost structure in line with current sales trends through a new "More from the Core" operating strategy and targeting new growth opportunities through a program it calls "Complete Health and Wellness," which targets reduced healthcare and prescription costs for bug healthcare payers

Special Report: Regional Chains
So what do boxing and retail pharmacy have in common? More than you might think. Like boxers in the ring, both regional and national players are battling for the win and striving to overcome much of the same challenges, whether it is an uppercut from average wholesale price, a jab from patients coping with rising pharmacy premiums and co-pays, or a counterpunch from the rival down the street. But despite the challenges and added pressure from retail heavyweights, regional players refuse to get pinned against the ropes.

Special Report: Generic Drugs
Generic drug makers depend on a steady supply of expiring patents coming from large pharmaceutical companies for their business. In recent years, a whole slew of blockbuster drugs have come off patent, allowing generic drug makers to lap up the drug compounds. Over the next several years, however, the supply of expiring patents will begin to run dry. Between this year and 2016, $131 billion worth of drugs will come off patent, followed by a long decline often called the patent cliff. Facing this precipice, generic drug companies will have to adapt as the market becomes increasingly commoditized.

New Age Buying Incentives
What will it take to turn consumers into buyers during these difficult economic times? A September 2008 study by Chain Store Age and Leo J. Shapiro & Associates of 21 different incentives reveals which ones are most effective at stimulating retail sales. The new study, “New Age Buying Incentives,” is based on interviews with 800 households in 36 states representing 83% of the U.S. household population. Incentives studied included promises of savings and service. Many consumers have been forced to rely on opportunities to save money to maintain their standard of living. The findings of this study demonstrate what is now at stake in retail promotional programs and, more importantly, can assist retailers and vendors in designing programs that are likely to achieve a competitive edge. The study separates customer incentives for small and big ticket purchases. Also measured were consumer responses to different media.

Special Report:Walmart RX FOR AN UPGRADE
The pharmacy at Wal-Mart is in for some major changes in the coming years as the retailer looks to upgrade its prescription drug departments in keeping with a broader strategy to make the customer experience at its stores fast, clean and friendly. Such attributes have not historically been associated with shopping at Wal-Mart, but the company set out to change that perception in late 2005 when it embarked on a sweeping three-year transformation plan. There were lots of changes among senior personnel and the structure of such groups as merchandising, marketing and operations, but what customers noticed most was the arrival of new brands throughout the store, shorter checkout lines, less clutter as inventory was eliminated and a new advertising slogan that touted, “Save money. Live better.”

Special Report: 2008 Generics Report
The 1840s had the California Gold Rush. The 1990s had the tech boom. Years from now, historians might label the early 2000s the generic drugs rush. But whatever they call it, the big growth years may be behind the generic drug industry. In fact, some believe that over the course of the next five years or so, the boom even could go bust, as a shortage of big blockbuster drug launches today means a dropoff in the number of new generic introductions tomorrow. In this special report, Drug Store News examines the state of the generics industry and where it’s going
