Walgreens has announced that they will be opening a new store on Keeamoku Street in February 2015, but it is slated to be unlike any drugstore that Hawaii has ever seen. According to company spokesmen, this location will be a "Well Experience" flagship store which will have everything from fresh handmade sushi, poke bowls, bentos, a coffee and pastry counter, a juice bar, and self-serve frozen yogurt. Gregory Wasson, Walgreen's president and CEO stated, "We are stepping out of the traditional drugstore format and creating something unique, new and special."
The new store will be just over 20,000 sq ft in size and will include a LOOK Boutique cosmetics department offering manicures. The two story building has an additional three levels of parking over it and was designed to support a 20-story residential tower above that.
