Walgreens to Expand Liquor Selection

in Woodridge will soon offer more than wine and beer in its alcohol line-up. 

The Walgreens at 2501 75th St., received the approval for a Class B-1 Liquor License Jan. 26 from the village board, which permits the retail sale of "alcoholic liquor." 

Walgreens previously had a Class B-2 Liquor License, which permits the retail sale of beer and wine. 

The village clerk's office received a written request from Walgreens to approve the Class B-1 liquor license, according to village documents.

The request came as an effort to expand their adult beverage offering and was in response to customer requests, according to the village.

The Walgreens located at 501 Plainfield Road in Willowbrook also carries the B-1 Liquor License. That store has carried liquor for about six months, the store manager said.

The Willowbrook Walgreens at 10S370 Kingery Highway also carries the B-1 license.
