The new Walgreens office in Chicago, set to be housed in the Old Main Post Office building, is expected to open in fall 2019, officials said Monday.
Bringing with it nearly 2,000 jobs, the company said it plans to host digital and IT operations employees as well as some Walgreens Boots Alliance global IT personnel in the new space.
Of the 1,800 positions coming to the 400 block of West Van Buren, 1,300 will be for relocated employees, the company said.
“This will be the largest number of corporate employees Walgreens has ever had based in Chicago,” Walgreens said in a statement, adding that there are currently about 4.500 employees in Chicago, including those at its 120 drugstores.
