Walgreens

Walgreens is a wholesale business created for the purpose of supplying new players and businesses alike with affordable materials they may make use of through resale, acting secondarily as a cheap place for users to shop at in general. The idea was spurred through the realization that Amazon provided an essential service to the player though, at the time, was rarely in stock which provided an open niche to fill within the market.

History
Walgreens was founded in November of 2020 by user Trentrick_Lamar with one goal: cheap items for the player that needs them. Initially Trentrick began this process by providing goods at average market value, as it represented the midway point between expensive and cheap, but progressively moved further toward cheaper and cheaper values as he saw more server traffic which spawned more new players needing more items for the little money they have.

By December Walgreens had developed a small yet loyal customer base who consistently came for essentials such as iron, diamonds, logs, and baked potatoes which led to other players beginning to lower their price ranges, signaling a change in the market toward overt competition as opposed to aggressive profit extraction. As a result of this trend and the affect Walgreens had on the market, user Pouyaking69 (also known as Persianwolf) founded his own company--Wish--which further accelerated this process.

Once January had come around Walgreens had seen a few minor controversies involving accusations of metaphorical slave labor and taking advantage of new players, as players began to allege that the company employed new players and paid less than minimum wage to them for valuable products due to the frame of reference for which they lacked regarding the market value of materials on the server. However, these claims were never backed up with any evidence and thus have been unproven by those making them.
