As more and more people across the country continue to look for
safe and convenient options to pick up daily essentials amidst the
COVID-19 pandemic, Walgreens is now offering select products at its
more than 7,300 pharmacy drive-thrus nationwide. The offering
provides greater convenience while also helping to promote social
distancing, and is another way Walgreens is helping to support
patients and customers during this time.
More than 60 front-end products are currently available for
purchase at drive-thru, including household essentials chosen
specifically to support the needs of customers and communities
during the pandemic. These additional products include cleaning
supplies and sanitizers, select over the counter products such as
cough/cold, pain/fever and immunity support, select grocery items,
infant formula/adult nutrition, medical supplies, first aid and
paper goods.
Customers may confirm product availability at the pharmacy
drive-thru window. Availability and quantity restrictions
apply.
“We are working around the clock to support our customers and
patients, who are relying on us more now than ever before,” said
Lisa Badgley, senior vice president of pharmacy and retail
operations at Walgreens. “We’re continuing to quickly introduce new
and different ways to meet customers’ needs for greater convenience
during the COVID-19 pandemic, while also promoting social
distancing as one of the most important preventive measures we can
take. We also ask that customers be patient as we work to provide
this new and expanded service, as there may be wait times given
current demand.”
When there are no lines at the drive-thru, Walgreens pharmacy
technicians are prepared to provide customers these items on the
spot. In the event there are multiple vehicles in line waiting for
assistance, customers may be asked to drive back around and will be
provided a wait time to return to pick up their items.
