That Odd Kroger Partnership With Walgreens Just Got Weirder
Kroger's (NYSE: KR) partnership with Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA) always seemed a bit strange, because it allowed the supermarket's customers to shop online for groceries and then pick them up at their local Walgreens pharmacy.
Sure, that made it convenient for the customer, but it seemed like a duplication of effort for Kroger as it presumably had to pick, pack, and ship the order to Walgreens for the customer to be able to receive it.
