EVERETT — A new 14,000-square-foot Walgreens drug store will be added to the large senior housing complex going up at the south Everett intersection of Fourth Avenue W. and 112th Street SW.
The new store at 11216 Fourth Ave. W. will replace the Exxon gas station and Liberty convenience store occupying the property, according to plans on file with Snohomish County.
Scott Grainger and his company, SE Grainger Development, is the developer of the $1.25 million store, which will be Walgreens’ sixth in Snohomish County. It will be strategically placed: The new Garden Court condominium and retirement complex for senior citizens is adjacent to the 1 1/2-acre property.
Garden Court is scheduled to open this summer. A new mini-storage business also is being built near the condominiums.
A spokeswoman with Walgreens said she couldn’t comment on the new store until details are complete.
With 3,650 stores nationwide and headquarters in Deerfield, Ill., Walgreens started 101 years ago, but the company’s first Snohomish County store — at 20725 Highway 99 in Lynnwood — didn’t open until 1997.
Since 2000, the company has opened at four more locations in the area: Evergreen Way in Everett, the Silver Lake area, Mukilteo and Lynnwood. The Mukilteo store sold last month to an unnamed investor for $5.4 million.
