Walgreens got it done — and in fairly good time, too.
The drugstore giant opened three retail health clinics in Wichita today with three more slated to open here by the end of the year. That brings the total of Take Care Clinics in the region to 15 — 12 of which are in the Kansas City metro area. Walgreens plans to hit the Topeka market by the end of the year as well.
Walgreens is only five days over its deadline for opening its first stores in the Wichita area.
Think Dillons, Wal-Mart and Target are next?

Look for an update on the local farmland market later this week in the Eagle.
