The recently extended Walgreens lease has over 16 years remaining and expires in December 2031. The lease features minimal landlord responsibilities. This is a proven location for Walgreens as they have successfully operated at this property since 2001. Walgreens is an investment grade rated company with a Standard & Poor’s rating of BBB.
