Where Starbucks used to be and directly beside the McCafe.. the building steel framing is going up and I just know I've seen that shape before. My construction background is telling me it's Walgreens. But I've been wrong before. I hope I'm wrong. Any clues?

Also Corner of Dixie Forest and Atlantic/OldWakeforest they have cleared a long long vacant lot and I'm curious as well as to what is going to be built there. It's a fairly big lot so I'm curious as to what is coming here too.


Thanks.

I heard the same awhile back. And I believe a Waffle House was approved somewhere in that area too.

..... While we're at it what is going up at Spring Forest/401 ...... looks like maybe apartments ?

Yep. More apartments.

The Spring Forest site will indeed (surprise, surprise) be a Walgreens.

Just what N Raleigh needs, another 'Wal' anything .... i must be missing something about Walgreens especially. For me it's just an overpriced 'drug' store with odd sized items that make you think you are getting a deal ...... when I compare unit price to almost any other type store they are higher. That being said they must have a loyal following to be able to keep developing million dollar locations.

What morons!

Walgreens is out of control oversaturating areas with too many locations. That's why their prices for generic drugs are out of line.

Who's running this company?

I hope that is not a Sheetz at Dixie/Spring Forest/Atlantic. They are just too much, so over crowded and busy they are the Walmart of gas stations. Not to mention in the preceding block there are already 2 gas stations and 1 at the same intersection adjacent. I do not approve. Raleigh used to have decent zoning but recently I am wondering.

Well Walgreens, we meet again. lol.

They are 24/7, but I doubt you'll see "lots and lots of traffic and congestion." If anything, I think it'll bleed off some of the business for the location at Capital & Thornton Rd which always seems to be over capacity. Food's pretty good, coffee (especially their specialty coffees) is surprisingly good. Be sure to get a My Sheetz card to save $0.03 every gallon!
