Walgreens plans to close a large share of its U.S. stores over the next three years, CEO Tim Wentworth said on a conference call with industry analysts on Thursday. Wentworth described a quarter of the company's 8,500 stores as "underperforming," saying the pharmacy chain would close a "significant portion" of those locations. The exact number of closures is still being finalized, Wentworth said. Walgreens will make changes at the remainder of the struggling stores in an effort to revitalize them, Wentworth said.

If you’re a Tillamook fan, you might love the brand even more if you’re aware that they’re a certified B-corp, meaning the company meets “the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.” Tillamook has also operated as a co-op since 1909, which means the brand is owned and led by a group of Oregon dairy farmers, not a large corporation, who have a voice in the business decisions and the future of the brand.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
