They are going kaput, and have been for a long time. I was in one last year, and the store had many empty and partially full shelves. The last time I had seen something similar was when K-Mart hit the skids. Aisles of nothing, and then an aisle or two of things stacked so as to appear there was more on the shelves than there actually were.

It very much had a semi-abandoned, depressing feel to it.

CVS and Walgreens are headed down that path, too.
