Walgreens opens first location in the Alaska Interior

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Walgreens opened its first location here in the Alaska Interior on Tuesday, according to a report in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. 

 

The Alaska Interior covers most of the U.S. state's territory. It is largely wilderness. The largest city in the interior is Fairbanks, Alaska's second-largest city, in the Tanana Valley.

 

According to the report, the store will wait to hold a grand opening until February 2015, when a sister store in East Fairbanks opens.
