Popular drugstore chain quietly nears deal to go private
A popular drugstore company is nearing a multi-billion dollar deal to get off the public market.
Walgreens is one of the most well-known drugstore chains in the U.S., having become American families' go-to place to obtain prescription and non-prescription medication since 1901.
From opening the first Walgreens location nearly 124 years ago to inventing the first malted milkshake in 1922 and going public in 1927, the company had only been prosperous.
