Walgreens Coming to Sunset & Vine

RackedLA.com is reporting that Walgreens will begin construction on the space formerly occupied by Borders at Sunset and Vine. Walgreens’ plan is to bring their high-end concept drugstore to Hollywood – much like others they have built out in Chicago (on State Street) and New York (on Wall Street). The green light on construction comes after the drugstore chain gained approval on a liquor license this week.
