Construction for a new Walgreen's will soon change the look of the corner of Kings Mountain Road. Walgreen's is planning to open the new store this summer says Carol Hivley, Walgreen's Corporate Spokeswomen. The new store will be 14,800 a typical size for Walgreen's. The store will feature a drive-Thur pharmacy window and will employ about 25 people. You can visit their website Walgreen's.com to file out an application if your interested in employment. Walgreen's forced locally owned business National Glass to relocate a few months ago.

      Just a little history, Charles R. Walgreen Sr. purchased the Chicago drugstore where he had worked as a pharmacist — and that started the Walgreen chain. His energy and enthusiasm soon led to new ideas and ambitious expansion. For example, he manufactured his own line of drug products to ensure high quality and low prices.
