Walgreen Co.’s revenue from established stores climbed slightly last month, as Easter Sunday’s earlier appearance compared to last year both helped and hurt the performance of the nation’s largest drugstore chain.
The Deerfield, Ill., company said Wednesday that revenue from stores open at least a year rose 0.7 percent in March. Pharmacy revenue fell 1.5 percent, even though prescriptions filled at those stores climbed 4 percent. Revenue from the front end, or rest of the store, climbed 4.2 percent.
