Walgreens on Thursday joined a growing number of U.S. retailers
who requested customers refrain from the open carry of firearms in
its stores.
A company statement read "We are joining other retailers in
asking our customers to no longer openly carry firearms into our
stores other than authorized law enforcement officials."
Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (WBA) is the parent of
Walgreens.
Earlier this week, Kroger Co. (KR) said it was asking customers
to no longer openly carry firearms in its stores.
On Wednesday, Walmart Inc. (WMT) made a similar request of its
customers and announced it would no longer sell ammunition for
assault-style weapons.
