On the right side, a blue silhouette of a human head contains two interlocking gears, symbolizing strategic thinking and problem-solving. The background transitions from light to dark blue.

In late August, PE firm Sycamore Partners closed its $10B acquisition of Walgreens and announced plans to split the retailer into five new independent companies:

  • Walgreens (U.S. retail pharmacy chain)

  • The Boots Group (international retail pharmacy chain)

  • Shields Health Solutions (specialty pharmacy services)

  • CareCentrix (healthcare and home-based services)

  • VillageMD (primary care chain)
