new CVS & Walgreen-Laconia

So, CVS has three different stores, in Gilford, Laconia & Belmont, all on the same State Route 106 or Union Ave, within about five miles. Maybe either CVS or Walgreen could open another store at the Route 104 mall in Meredith.

CVS has good competative prices on their front end, non-prescription items like greeting cards and seasonal items and shampoo. Rite Aid, on the other hand, must think their Rite Aid customers are too dumb to notice that their Rite Aid prices are way high. Let me see now: the Rite Aid business plan; scare away the customers with high prices.........very smart!

On May 27 2004, the CEO and founder of Rite Aid, Martin L Grass, age 50, was sentenced to eight years in federal prison for securities fraud, Some type of fraud intended to inflate the price of Rite Aid stock. Heck, I thought all ceo's do that automatically as part of their job. And some things never change, as Rite Aid has been inflating prices ever since way back when. Wonder if Martin- Rite Aid is still in federal prison?
