The Walgreen Company is the largest drugstore chain in the United States. The company operates about 7,034 drugstores across all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
When Vanessa Ferguson fled Denver after the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupted, she stopped in Pueblo, Colorado and bought swimming goggles and a packet of surgical masks from a clerk in a Walgreens. There had been three packets left, but the clerk limited sales to one package to a customer to allow for more people to get them. Ferguson was surprised but pleased to get the items at list price since she had been gouged for gasoline earlier.[1]
In 1942, two males of the Race's Conquest Fleet stole a number of flashlights from a Walgreen's in Strasburg, Ohio. Moments later, Jens Larssen, who'd witnessed the theft, stopped in to buy a Pepsi.
