Right now Walgreens has on a 3 mile or so stretch of Las Vegas Blvd. six locations, all of them on the same side of the street. I doubt any of these will be targeted for closing, as there's obviously enough business to justify operating that many locations in such short distance. Along this same stretch, CVS has three locations and is currently building a fourth one. vespajethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058640011590681625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-83985789672367974302015-09-11T11:53:23.899-04:002015-09-11T11:53:23.899-04:00Anyone know if there is a published list showing a...Anyone know if there is a published list showing all the upcoming closures?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-70196074863485437142015-09-11T04:12:31.956-04:002015-09-11T04:12:31.956-04:00It looks like it's just a line of traffic due ...It looks like it's just a line of traffic due to the right lane being closed.

"<br /><br />Even though I'm nearing the age when drug stores will likely become a bigger part of my routine, I can honestly say I have never neen 'excited' by a new drug store.<br /><br />Interestingly, I worked in the building that was demolished for the Brookhaven Walgreens. The building was purchased by Walgreens about 2008-9. The company I worked for shared the building with Keller Williams. Both companies paid rent to Walgreens until each moved to separate locations in 2011 (or 12). My office overlooked Peachtree and Hastings Nursery. Those were good times. I believe the new Walgreens and offices will add to the corner usefulness. But the traffic is already constipated in that area due to cut-trough traffic on Colonial and too many curb cuts to accompdate Cherokee Plaza, Starbucks, Subway, whatever goes in on west side of Peachtree and of course the Walgreens. Oh well, people will find a way to adapt - or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-89676723841172068662015-09-10T15:22:20.737-04:002015-09-10T15:22:20.737-04:00I noticed this a few weeks ago and figured their n...I noticed this a few weeks ago and figured their new location to the north had simply replaced this one. Interesting that they transferred Rx to a competitor. I definitely never experienced this as a busy store. This particular corner lacks vibrancy. Carlhttp://twitter.com/Carlnoreply@blogger.com
