Corporate Mega-chain Fun Fact:
Walgreen Co. is named after Charles R. Walgreen, Sr. who founded the chain of drug stores. He had planned to be a professional athlete in his youth but after loosing a finger in a factory accident, he decided to become a pharmacist. He purchased his first pharmacy, where he was working at the time, in 1901. Due to his improvements in customer service (including a speedy delivery service) the store thrived and he was able to add more stores and eventually expand beyond the Chicago area.
This particular location is not 100+ years old. Actually it was built new from the ground up just a couple years ago. Everything still looks clean and organized so for that reason it is my favorite drug store in the area. There are many popular restaurants and sports bars in this shopping center so parking can be a problem in the evenings. But if you try the spaces on the north and west side of the store you will find plenty of spots since those are marked for Walgreens customers only.
