RCS 261-Pharmacy location!!

Walgreens On Spring Garden and Aycock:

Location: The location of this pharmacy is prime in the sense that it is directly beside UNCG's campus. Considering the population of UNCG is more dense then many areas in Greensboro this is a big advantage. It's right in the middle of everything. When people walk to and from class, like the vast majority does, they can drop their prescription off before class and pick it up afterwards. I think the fact that it is a standalone retailer, also works to its advantage.

Disadvantages: It is also located directly across the street from a CVS, which unfortunately has been around longer, so it is better established. Also, the parking at Walgreens as well as CVS are kind of limited in my opinion. They aren't the easiest to manuever around, but like I stated earlier a lot of people do walk and ride bikes.

Advantages: Walgreens has extended its hours, and is open longer than its biggest competitor, being CVS. The fact that it can work with people that need more flexible schedules to run errands, is an absolute plus for college students and professors. It is on a road that is packed with restaurants, stores, coffee shops, head shops, and gas stations.

I think that it is in a great location, and the only thing that it would need to possibly alter would be its parking capacity.
