Renting the pharmacy space in the Winn-Dixie's to Walgreens or CVS is a smart business decision - they do not have to apply for licenses and they can collect rent which goes right to the bottom line.
Except that is not what WD is doing.

They have sold their pharmacy client base to Walgreens. Future refills will have to be picked up at Walgreens. WD is closing the pharmacy and the liquor store. Keeping the wine sales.
