Walgreens
About
The Walgreens at the corner of School and Washington streets in downtown Boston is a large store that its business district describes as an emporium, much more than a pharmacy. Along with the pharmacy and health and beauty products, it has an upscale gourmet food section that includes sushi, a full-service salon center and a liquor store on its mezzanine level, giving shoppers a mix of everyday needs and specialty items under one roof.
The store belongs to Walgreens, the national pharmacy chain whose history dates to 1901 in Chicago. This downtown location leans into the emporium idea, mixing everyday convenience with specialty shopping, and it sits in the Downtown Crossing area among the shops and offices of downtown Boston. After shopping, customers can take a break on the store’s outdoor plaza, which has tables and chairs.
