Walgreens Boots Alliance is relocating 1,300 jobs to downtown Chicago in the years ahead at a new 200,000 -square-foot office at the Old Main Post Office, the company announced.
The Deerfield-based drugstore giant plans to formally announce June 18 that its new downtown office will house about 1,800 employees “to meet the needs of its current and future workforce while continuing to attract and retain the best talent,” Walgreens said in a statement today.
The company will keep its headquarters and roughly 3,200 jobs in Deerfield, where it has been since 1975, but will be the first major tenant at the hulking Post Office structure, which is undergoing an $800 million transformation into a modern office building.
