As I walked into the Walgreens, I slammed to a stop. "And what are you doing here" My mom stood next to the cashier, tapping her foot with her arms crossed. She looked mad, but I wasn 't going to give up now. I was in the right, not her. So I stood my ground. "I told you, I just need a couple of things" I growled through my teeth.

Key Competitors Some of the competitors CVS is up against would be the medical/nursing industry and businesses like Walgreens and Rite Aid. When I mention the medical/nursing industry, this is a key competitor because the medical industry, such as PharMerica, is a corporation that provides services to healthcare facilities (hospitals), provide specialty infusion services to patients outside of the hospital, and offers the only national oncology pharmacy in the U.S. Then you think about the businesses like Walgreens and Rite Aid provide the same type of services CVS provides. However, I think Walgreens would be more a competitor because you don’t see a lot of Rite Aids still open.

The article “Labouring the Walmart Way,” author Deenu Parmar talks about how Walmart is able to achieve selling goods at a lower price then any average superstore.
