OAKLAND, Calif. --
Walton says filling the prescriptions will be the hard part because there are not many other options within walking distance. A sign posted inside the store directs customers to visit the CVS pharmacy located one mile away.Target claims that retail theft is the main reason behind the decision to close the stores.
According to Professor Wood, that means insurance companies are filing prescriptions by mail, which could prove to be more profitable. He doesn't know how that may be impacting the Target-CVS Pharmacy partnership, but he believes it is putting pressure on large discount drugstores. "We live in corporate America. So ultimately, everything is driven by a profit motive, and not everything is driven by the social motive," says Professor Balaraman Rajan. He teaches business and economics at Cal State East Bay.
