Some Coatesville residents think Walgreens will leave because of robberies

They were saying that even before the store was robbed.

Walgreens is here to stay.

I think that Walgreens factored in possible robberies when they planned to come here. I believe that they expected robberies. All they would have needed to do would be to speak with the storeowners they replaced and they would have known about a history of robberies.

Walgreens has one up on the previous stores they replaced. Walgreens hires local people. In a town like Coatesville where everyone knows everyone a robber from Coatesville would be recognized. That's allegedly exactly what happened last Friday April 20th.

The alleged robber was said to be a meth addict who was looking for drugs like Adderall. I believe that instead of enrolling himself in a detox program the poor guy may have made a huge change in his life by allegedly doing an armed robbery.  

All drug stores are targets for robberies. That's why pharmacist is a high-risk occupation. It's just my opinion but I think the CVS near the Brandywine Hospital is a more likely robbery hot spot than any drugstore in Coatesville because it has easy entry and exit on highways.
