By
C&EN editorial team
Summary
A brief opening anecdote about local hardware stores closing (including one that became a cannabis dispensary) is presented as part of a weekly "Business Watch" column covering the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The article mentions Fuller's acquisition of wound-care company AMS and a Novartis-Antares agreement for cancer small molecules, but the provided content is extremely limited — only a short introductory anecdote about hardware stores with no substantive coverage of the business topics mentioned in the title.
