Congratulations to our partners in Liberty, Missouri, on Walgreens’ $30 million investment in a more than 65,000-sq.-ft., micro-fulfillment center at Liberty Commerce Center. The facility will create 200 jobs and over $8 million in payroll. The facility is estimated to open by the end of 2022.
Walgreens’ micro-fulfillment model is designed to better serve customers in the Midwest, increasing the speed at which product is delivered to retail stores, to lockers for pick-up and directly to customer homes.
According to Walgreens, “These fulfillment centers are dedicated to fulfilling retail prescription orders and play an important role in our effort to create the pharmacy of the future, one that further enables our store pharmacy teams to spend more of their time providing front-line patient care.”
