EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. — Walgreens has announced it is closing a distribution center in Southern Illinois. The company is laying off nearly 400 employees at an e-commerce shipping center in Edwardsville and closing the facility later this summer.

The drugstore giant’s announcement comes six weeks after it revealed plans to cut about 500 corporate jobs in Chicago and Deerfield. Walgreens said last week it will close 150 stores in the United States, where it has about 8,900 retail outlets and clinics.
