“While the holidays look different this year, the chaos leading
up to the big day still remains. More than ever, our customers are
spread thin and it may be difficult to remember everyone on their
list. That’s why our team and stores are here to help them get what
they need in a fast and easy way,” said Heather Hughes, group vice
president of seasonal, general merchandise and photo, Walgreens.

bring joy, we are standing by to help customers find the perfect
gift, and deliver it on their terms fast and safely with our
recently launched Pickup service in as little as 30 minutes.”
