About Us
Walgreens is a trusted and convenient local health destination that millions of Americans rely on every day.
Our founder, Charles R. Walgreen Sr., was known for finding new ways to connect with customers on a personal level and treating each person like a guest in his own home. For over a century, we have expanded that personal connection through our network of neighborhood pharmacies and our innovative health services and products.
The foundation for all of this is our trusted pharmacy expertise, and our team members who provide essential care that helps people achieve better health outcomes at an affordable cost.
