Walgreens has officially dropped the requirement that its workers wish you to “Be Well” as you leave one of the pharmacy chain’s locations, CNN reports. The change also applies to Duane Reade stores.
“We felt that it had accomplished its goal of enhancing our branding and it was time to evolve that,” a spokesman told CNN. However, a new goodbye phrase is on its way.
Walgreens posted first quarter earnings per share of $.85, up 18.1% year-over-year. The chain’s first-quarter sales were up 6.7%, setting a new quarterly record of $19.6 billion in total.
