Re: [Rant] Walgreens Pharmacy

said by Kearnstd:

Cigarettes are very low profit items for stores. They are more of lead people inside items which CVS places already have lots of.

Especially in high tax states like Massachusetts and New York. Convenience stores probably make more profit on a tank of gas sold on a credit card than on a cigarette sale. I see many places in Massachusetts that advertise cigarettes sold at state minimum.

And for places with gas the gas is also a lead in item, Wawa for example makes almost nothing on gas but they know a large number of pump customers come in for stuff. They make a killing off their subs or as people here call them hoagies.
