UPDATE: WALGREEN’S TO OPEN IN THE OLD BORDER’S LOCATION Summer 2013 ++ New Photos

Over a year ago I broke the story about Walgreen’s taking over the old Borders space at Broad and Chestnut Streets. The City tried to fight it, and eventually when no one else seemed to show interest in this high profile corner they conceeded with a few exceptions. Walgreens is not allowed to put shelving in the front windows as the windows must remain unobstructed once the store opens.
Then last May I was able to get the floor plans for the new Walmart at this location HERE
More Tidbits I posted yesterday – Jose Garces new restaurant, The Corner is no longer serving lunch and
