If you stop into your local Walgreens and find that it looks like a Kroger – or if you visit Kroger and wonder if you’ve wandered into a Walgreens – it’s not your imagination. The two retailers are expanding a partnership that will see more Kroger-branded grocery departments in dozens of Walgreens stores, as well as Walgreens-branded health and beauty departments in Kroger locations. Original post here.

The changes will begin in Knoxville, Tennessee this fall, ahead of a possible nationwide rollout if the test is considered a success. It’s an expansion of a pilot program that began at a handful of Walgreens locations in Northern Kentucky last year – but the new wrinkle involves the changes that will now be affecting Kroger stores as well.

17 Knoxville-area Kroger stores will now effectively outsource their health and beauty departments to Walgreens. The Kroger locations will host a Walgreens store-within-a-store, complete with Walgreens signage, featuring Walgreens beauty, personal care, wellness products and over-the-counter medications.
