The Walgreen's near me got a make-over recently. They didn't do
anything to the outside of the building (probably leased), but they
painted, replaced the shelving and gave everything a sleeker look -
although they didn't significantly change the layout. It seems like a
brand new store and it was a long time coming. There was a Rite Aide
a block away for years, then Walgreen's bought out all the Rite Aide
locations in town with a no competition agreement. CVS moved in a
year or two later, but they didn't change. Whole Foods opened at one
end of the shopping district - still no movement. Now that a Target
Express has been approved to open in the old Rite Aide location (a
former Safeway store), they finally decided to spruce it up. FINALLY!
