Walgreen looks to move HQ to Old Main Post Office
By Greg Hinz and Thomas A. Corfman
May 08, 2014
Walgreen Co. is taking steps to move its headquarters downtown — the old
Main Post Office.
Under pressure by some shareholders to move its Deerfield headquarters to
Europe, the drugstore giant has for months been scouting locations in the
Loop, where it would potentially move thousands of jobs.
The company is the largest employer in Deerfield, with 3,500 workers,
according to a filing by the northern suburb to bond holders in December
2012. Exactly how many employees would come downtown could not be determined.
A decision to move has not been made, but the deal would deliver a big boost
to Chicago, which wasn't in the running when Toyota Motor Corp. announced
it would move its North American headquarters to a suburb of Dallas from
Southern California.
But the shift would also deliver a severe jolt to the suburban economy,
which is suffering from an exodus of major employers. Walgreen would be the
latest in what has become a parade of one-time suburban icons relocating to
the central city, such as Motorola Mobility, the airline United Continental
Holdings Inc. and Hillshire Brands Co., formerly Sara Lee Corp. Other major
employers, such such as AT&T Inc., have transferred hundreds of jobs from
the suburbs to the city.
