Walgreens has stores located all around the Danville area, so it seems logical.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rumor mill has been flying around the SouthsideCentral region saying that Walgreens is going to open a store in Danville. More unconfirmed rumors say that they have an agreement to purchase customer records from Professional Pharmacy & Commonwealth Pharmacy. <\/p>\n
At work today, I talked to Walgreens’ media relations department who said “No Comment”, but you could tell there was a smile in his voice. I called Professional Pharmacy and Commonwealth Pharmacy but nobody “was available for comment” and nobody returned my calls. That’s leading me to put more credence into the rumor. I also spoke with Danville’s economic development office and they said that they have no business dealings with Walgreens at this time. <\/p>\n
In the last hour, I’ve read a rumor that says Walgreens will retrofit the existing Professional Pharmacy building on Watson St. I find that hard to believe since the area is extremely run-down and in a non-desirable location for business. <\/p>\n
If Walgreens comes to the area, they’ll want an existing customer base to start so that would logically mean buying out independent pharmacies. They’ll want to build a new store in a high-traffic area and won’t have much of a need for the small pharmacies’ existing space.<\/p>\n
All of this leads me to a 90%<\/strong> chance that Walgreens will be open in Danville within the next 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Walgreens has stores located all around the Danville area, so it seems logical.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4,58,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-businesscentral","category-danville","category-rumorcentral","odd"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pwqFk-1V6","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5340,"url":"https:\/\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/2009\/09\/17\/rumorcentral-goodyear-contract-to-be-officially-ratified-on-saturday\/","url_meta":{"origin":7384,"position":0},"title":"RumorCentral: Goodyear contract to be officially ratified on Saturday.","author":"SouthsideCentral","date":"September 17, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"It's a RumorCentral right now, but I'm 98% confident that this one will be proven true.
