PHOENIX — Pharmacy company Walgreens announced Tuesday that it would move its Tempe offices to Chandler and hire nearly 200 more employees.
In a press release, the company said it planned to open a 60,000-square-foot pharmacy operations support center near Price and Germann Roads. The facility is expected to open in the fall.
“The new facility will support Walgreens retail pharmacies around the country by performing tasks that allow pharmacy staff in stores to spend more time providing trusted service to patients,” Rex Swords, Walgreens vice president of pharmacy and retail operations planning, said in the release.
Workers at the Chandler facility will include pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and specialists such as call center agents.
