NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Walgreens

Walgreen’s in Wallace has been open a year now, and they have recently joined the Chamber of Commerce. The store has 21 employees, and fills a void left in the evening when the downtown drugstores have closed. This convenience, along with the company’s prescription savings club program and diverse merchandise selection accounts for much of the store’s success. You can order a prescription, find the newest makeup items, get your pet’s Frontline products, order a gift item personalized with your favorite picture from the photo department and have it shipped to grandma, pick up the stamps you didn’t get to the post office for, and get some ice cream all in one stop. They also run extensive sales- the August promotions flyer was 20 pages long and full of everything from vitamins to back to school items to grocery items. The management staff includes David Jackson, Manager; Benjamin Whitman & Chrissy Randall, Assistants; and Head Pharmacist Jennifer Cavenaugh Knowles who chose to come home to Wallace in her career capacity. The staff is well trained, and very friendly. Karen, who runs the photo department, has been with the company for 9 years and has been very happy with the company culture and the career opportunities she has had. The next time you need lipstick, dog food, milk, tuna, socks, photos processed, vitamin C and cough medicine, and you’re short on time- check Walgreen’s out. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find!
