Colton Herta of Andretti Global also did not believe this latest scandal was as damaging as last year’s Team Penske fiasco.
In Herscher, Illinois, news came out of nowhere that the CVS would shut down in early March.Mayor Shannon Sweeney met with CVS representatives and asked them to delay the closure for his village of 1,500 that’s 80 miles south of Chicago, but he said the company told him the front of the store was not making enough money.
Pharmacy access is an important consideration, CVS spokesman Matt Blanchette told The Associated Press, but the company also weighs local market dynamics, population shifts and the number of stores in the area selling similar products. He confirmed the meeting with Sweeney, but did not directly answer a question about what financial issues led to the store closure.Tammy McLearen came to the CVS twice a month to pick up medications for her blood pressure and cholesterol on her way to and from work near Kankakee.She moved her prescriptions to the CVS near work because she doesn’t want to get them through the mail; her village isn’t a top priority for snow removal in the winter — and her late husband’s heart medications would often get lost in the mail.
“We’re losing convenience, a staple,” she said of the pharmacy, which was part of a small statewide chain before CVS bought it in 2017. “I hope another pharmacy goes in here.”Sweeney said that’s his goal — preferably an independent one.

Jones plans to hold out in Basin. He owns two other businesses there — a café next to the pharmacy and a grocery store, for which he cashed in some of his retirement accounts to keep it from closing.follows the classic formula: It’s a virtual board game in which most of the spaces lead to a multiplayer contest. Up to four people can play in-person or online, though one online mode lets up to 20 compete in a hectic “Koopathlon.” There are 22 characters, seven different boards and more than 110 minigames covering the gamut of Mario Party silliness, from races to brawls to minigolf. And there are few cooperative challenges, like a cooking game where four chefs try to slice and dice in rhythm. The festivities start Thursday on Switch.
