I'm reading some of these comments posted on here ahout Walgreens and I would like to add mine AND that everyone takes time to read this. I work for one of the contractors and we were on the news last night but not for the Grand Opening. We were the people picketing. Walgreens/Ed Street Co./Nu Rentals have not paid for the contractor work that built that store. We are a small contractor and they owe us almost $100,000. We have to stand up to these Big Companies or they will walk over us America! Get behind us "hard working Americans" and Boycott these people. We have guys outta work, creditors breathing down our neck and they are up there in Hurricane having a "Grand Opening PARTY"!!! This is why our country is heading in the direction its goin. They went around our Companies and received occupancy and the City let it happen!!! How? Why? Do they want the American way to be gone? A man can't work for an honest living anymore because of companies like this......Don't stand for it America!

I had no issues with Walgreens taking my TriCare. If they had what I needed. I was stationed at Fort Polk, LA. The store was in Leesville LA.

From what I understand the contractors that have not been paid are not just construction workers. They can also be plummers, electricians etc. I have heard of one of these people that is owed almost $100,000.00 from this company on previous jobs. I believe they think they don't have to follow rules and pay their bills.
