You’ll be stunned to hear that there’s a corner in Chicago that doesn’t yet have a Walgreens. I wrote to Walgreens to find out what’s up. This one is going in at 2800 West Diversey. Spokeswoman Carol Hively says:
The Walgreens at Diversey & California is planned to open summer 2009. Not all of the details are in place yet since the opening is almost a year away, but I can tell you the size of the building is 12,600 square feet and the store will have a drive-thru pharmacy window and will employ about 25 people.
