This Walgreen's was originally an Eckerd's and then a Rite Aid, as you can see from the design of the building. It sits on an oddly shapped lot at the intersection of North Main & Colonial, and was the only drug store in the general vicinity.

Here is a story from The State about the closing, and how the neighborhood was very unhappy about it. Here's more from WLTX

  3. ^^ Don't forget the 2018 Rite aid to Walgreens transition whereby Columbia area Rite Aids either closed or became Walgreens...

  4. As a former assistant manager/service assistant for Eckerd twenty years ago, I can confirm what Tom said above. It would either be this store or Columbia Mall they’d be sent to.
