Walgreens reports sales up 9 percent in June

DEERFIELD - Walgreens Thursday reported June sales of $5.24 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to June 2008. Sales in "comparable stores," those open at least a year, increased 3.4 percent. Comparable store front-end sales decreased 0.9 percent against last year's June increase of 3.4 percent, hurt by softer sales of seasonal items, the company said.
