Walgreens to open Friday

The Walgreens at Highway 43 and Bashi Road in Thomasville will open Friday at 9 a.m. Employees are busy putting the finishing touches on the new drugstore.

"We're excited about bringing Walgreens to Thomasville," said manager Stephen Stanquist. "We've hired an outstanding staff whose focus will be delivering exceptional customer service to this community. We believe customers will appreciate the level of convenience they'll find in features like our drive-thru pharmacy, automatic prescription refills and nationwide network of pharmacies."

The new Walgreens will carry thousands of everyday items, including medications, health and beauty aids, toiletries, designer fragrances, greeting cards, small electronics, housewares, soft drinks, dairy products, frozen foods and snacks. Walgreens also offers convenient services including digital photo processing and passport photos. Customers can create custom greeting cards, gifts, postage stamps and more with their favorite family snapshots at the Walgreens photo kiosk.

Walgreens advanced pharmacy system links all its pharmacies making it possible for Thomasville customers to refill prescriptions at any of the thousands of Walgreens across the country. Walgreens customers can also take advantage of Auto Prefills, a service that marks monthly medications to be refilled automatically, then calls or sends an e-mail to remind you the prescription is ready for pick up. Walgreens is the only the pharmacy that offers pharmacist counseling and prescription labels in 14 languages and large-type drug information sheets for the visually impaired.

"This store will continue the tradition of trust that has guided Walgreens for 107 years," said Stanquist. "We are committed to providing the most convenient access to high quality pharmacy services and basic needs. We look forward to serving our new Thomasville customers."

Walgreens will be open everyday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with pharmacy hours 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
