Walgreen Company was founded as a small pharmacy in the 1900's in Chicago, Illinois, by Charles Rudolph Walgreen, Sr. Through an emphasis on personal service, the company began expanding, slowly at first. Now a large chain of pharmacies, Walgreens launched its first online pharmacy in October 1999. It continues to launch new stores, averaging 500 per year. Walgreens was one of the first companies to offer employees profit-sharing and pensions. It was also a pioneer in self-service retailing. Walgreens pharmacies are all now linked by a satellite network. The company is a public corporation traded on the NYSE as WAG.
