Walgreens Boots Alliance accelerated its investment in VillageMD, planning to open 600 to 700 Village Medical at Walgreens primary care clinics within the next four years.

In July, WBA said it would invest $1 billion in equity and debt in VillageMD over three years, including an initial $250 million equity investment.

The companies said Wednesday that they renegotiated their agreements and the remaining $750 million investment has been completed.

Earlier Wednesday, WBA said it agreed to sell the majority of its pharmacy wholesale unit to AmerisourceBergen Corp.
