Walgreens Pushes Back Opening Date for New Annandale Store

Annandale residents who are anxiously waiting for the new Walgreens to open at 4300 Backlick Rd. will have to wait just a little bit longer. The store is now aiming to open sometime in November.

The 24-hour drugstore and pharmacy's new tentative open date is closer to late November around Thanksgiving, which is Thursday, Nov. 28, said Phil Caruso with the Walgreens Media Relations Department. 

Previously, a representative for Walgreens told Patch the store would open before the end of summer.
