New Chicago Walgreens in the Loop!

Holy Cow! is all I can say about the most amazing Walgreens in the whole entire world. This 27,000 square foot flagship store just opened up in the loop on State and Randolph earlier this week. Urban, upscale and freshly prepared food, you will not believe your eyes.

A barista, fro-yo, smoothie and juice bar.

Made to order, hand-rolled sushi and sashimi.

A soda machine from the future. AKA “The Coca Cola Freestyle machine”.

The quite impressive wine and liquor department. I keep reading they have a $2,000 bottle of cognac. Wowzers!

Cases of cigars.

Fine wines and champagnes. Although I am dying over the fancy wooden refrigerators, I will be purchasing my spirits and liquors elsewhere. Prices were a bit steep.

They even included a wine tasting bar! “Just Jess” from WineChannelTV was doing a little promotion this evening.

The pharmacy is setup in a way where pharmacist and patient interaction is highly encouraged. When your prescription is ready, it will display on the multiple large screen TV’s in the area.

The beauty section provides aisles of high end products, an eyebrow bar, virtual makeovers and my absolute favorite…

 A Nail Bar by essie and OPI!

 It is so chic and absolutely darling. Just look at that chandelier!

 I mean $10 manicures? This is just crazy!

I think I know where I will be pampering myself this weekend.

Have you had a chance to check out the new Walgreens? What are your thoughts on this new concept? I think I might like it 🙂
