Report on the Walgreens share price

Inspectors ordered the site to be closed on Nov. 8, after discovering that the facility “posed an urgent health hazard that could not be addressed immediately”.
The inspector’s report alleged that the food in the store was “contaminated and / or adulterated” by vermin and that rodent traces and rat droppings were observed on “containers of pasta, flour and other foods”. The culprit: a “severe rat infestation”.
