In case you aren’t satisfied with the plethora of pharmacies already in Mt. Pleasant, you will soon have another choice.
Walgreens is building a new store at Mission and Pickard roads on the lot where J.W. Filmore’s family restaurant once stood. This store is just over a mile north of another Walgreens location.
The new Walgreens will become the fourth drugstore and the eighth pharmacy in Mt. Pleasant. Walgreens also has locations in Alma, Clare, and Midland.
The building is standing and the Walgreens sign is up, and that is just about all that is known about the project.
“As far as we know the construction is still in progress,” said Jane Sundberg of the Mt. Pleasant planning and community development office. “We have had no request for a final inspection on the building.”
No one was available for comment at the other Mt. Pleasant Walgreens, 1309 S. Mission St. As is evidenced by the company opening a second location in Mt. Pleasant, Walgreens is surviving this time of nationwide economic crisis.
According to walgreens.com, “Walgreens opened 71 stores during October, including seven relocations, and acquired one store,” although there was no specific information about the new Mt. Pleasant location.
