Upscale Walgreens Coming to Hollywood

Post by Alpha8472 »

A new West Coast Flagship Walgreens store at Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street features a sushi chef, juice bar, barista, and a soda fountain. In addition, there is a selection of over 700 wines. The new 24 hour store is 24,000 square feet and it opened on Saturday, December 1. This is the 6th flagship with 8-10 under construction in cities such as San Francisco and Miami. "They are typically in high-profile and high-traffic areas."

Walgreens seems to be betting on these fancy upscale drugstores with expanded selections that include much more expensive food. There are upscale offerings along with Walgreens standard drugstore fare.

The photos of the food section make it look almost like an upscale supermarket in some respects. The branding words "Up Market" are found all over the store.
