Our Walgreens Relationship

Walgreens-Logo

Founded in 1901 as a single drugstore, Walgreens today is a provider of trusted care in communities around the U.S. Through constant innovation, Walgreens has a history of breaking new ground to meet its customers' needs and improve their health, from offering self-service stores beginning in the 1950s to developing a 5-star rated mobile app today. In its pharmacies, Walgreens was the first major drugstore chain to put prescriptions into child-resistant containers in the 1960s (long before it was required by law) and in 2016 was the first to offer safe medication disposal kiosks in its stores.

The Walgreens Creed

  • We believe in the goods we merchandise, in ourselves and in our ability to render satisfaction.
  • We believe that honest goods can be sold to honest people by honest methods.
  • We believe in working, not waiting; in laughing, not weeping; in boosting, not knocking; and in the pleasure of selling our products.
  • We believe that we can get what we go after, and that we are not down and out until we have lost faith in ourselves.
  • We believe in today and the work we are doing, in tomorrow and the work we hope to do, and in the sure reward the future holds.
  • We believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in cheer, in friendship, and in honest competition.
  • Walgreens is still working to do things this way even in the Internet age.
