Walgreens announced plans to shut down 200 stores across the United States as part of a plan to cut costs, but emphasized that the company will remain open and holds a strong outlook on the future.

The 200 closures represent less than 3 percent of its 10,000 stores in the United States, Walgreens said in a statement sent to news outlets.
