Walgreens, 6500 Garners Ferry Road: 27 January 2026 no comments

This Walgreens stands on the site of the old Cedar Terrace Pharmacy, which was torn down to build an Eckerds which was rebranded as a Rite Aid and finally as Walgreens. At the end of the day, I can see why the chain chose to close this location: It's not their current design, and is not too far from several other branches. That said, I'm not sure why they are transferring prescriptions to 7801 Garners Ferry, when it seems to me that the Devine Street location would be closer and more likely convenient to those customers.
When I think of this store, I remember this iconic signage from a few years ago which manages to encapsulate the straight-forwardness & transparency of the US health care system:
