Walgreens
Walgreens has been committed to building stronger communities since its founding in 1901.
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.
From free health screening tours to shrinking emissions and landfill waste, Walgreens is helping communities, employees and the environment.
