Walgreens sold one of its South Florida stores on the corner of South Federal Highway and Lindell Boulevard.

Property records show Walgreen Company, based in Deerfield, Illinois, sold the 14,362-square-foot Deerfield Beach store at 3200 South Federal Highway for $6.54 million. The buyer is WBA FL 001 LLC, a Delaware company that is tied to Oak Street Real Estate Capital of Chicago.

Walgreens said in August that it planned to close 200 stores in the U.S. following “a review of the real estate footprint in the United States.” It’s unclear if the Delray Beach location is one that would close.

Earlier this week, Walgreens said it would close 150 of its in-store clinics and will open 100 Jenny Craig locations in Walgreens stores across the country.
