Walgreens flagship opens in New York

DEERFIELD, Ill. Walgreens has opened a flagship store on the first three levels of the legendary One Times Square building.

“With more than 1.6 million passers-by and countless media impressions daily, this sign represents a tremendous opportunity to catapult Walgreens brand among the most recognizable icons in the world," said Walgreens president and coo Greg Wasson. “The signs will also work to build awareness for our strongest supplier partners and the brands that help make Walgreens a destination for millions of customers every day.”
