Stay tuned... and enjoy! the 7000th store’s first day did about $9k (front-end), which is pretty good for a first day, but the real numbers will show as the store is opened for about 6 months, giving everyone a chance to know that Walgreens is here.

People were going in and out, I got smiles from the employees, except for that one Assistant Manager who looked really flustered. Poor guy, I wonder what had him so riled up. Some of the dairy items in the fridge were already sold out, cheeses mostly, so thats good I think! You guys had the AXE Shower Lufa! I've been looking for that thing everywhere! I ganked it immediately! When I finally got the the register it was pretty busy! Thankfully you had 3 registers open. I hope you guys keep that up. The Walgreens on Kings Highway and Coney almost always has no more then 2 registers up even on Friday Afternoons. Friday Afternoon is the Shabbos rush! Good Job!

I always wanted to do event planning but with the companies I worked for it was the clients that prepared the events we participated in. I was stuck writing letters of apology because one of our directors couldn't make a meeting. Really exciting-yawn. Business should be much better after the Labor Day weekend. Please do.

It was quiet, though they seemed a little bit of first day jitters. The store was practically devoid of customers, though it was only a little after 9AM. I hope we are told about any official store launching event if it occurs. I stopped by today. It was quiet, though they seemed a little bit of first day jitters.

I notice that the ceiling is impressively high. It's definitely going to be a comfortable place to shop. I took a shot at 2AM last night. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lisanne001/3884193381/ It’s really beautiful now. I notice that the ceiling is impressively high.

I was talking about that square piece of land that as of yesterday has a few rows of shrubbery landscaped on it. I wasn’t suggesting a bench by the bus stop, of course thats the MTA.
