Amazon mulls about opening brick-and-mortar pharmacies

Amazon.com is considering opening brick-and-mortar pharmacies as either standalone stores or within its grocery stores, according to unnamed sources who spoke with Business Insider. If Amazon, which owns PillPack, opens pharmacies it will be facing lots of competition from major chains including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, Kroger and others that operate thousands of stores apiece.
