For those not following the conversation on our [old Walgreens post](/fifth-walgreens-location-almost-complete/), Sheepshead Bay’s fifth location of the pharmacy chain opened on Friday, September 4.

The photo above, came in from [Kismet](http://twitter.com/SupaFly10579?ref=bklyner.com) via Twitpic/Twitter, and she says the “atmosphere was super friendly, everyone was helpful and pleasant.” In the comment stream, others seem to be saying the same. It appears Walgreens’ 7,000th location is a big hit in the ‘hood, and pulled in more than $9,000 in front-end purchases on the first day.

This Walgreens, on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue W, opened two weeks ahead of schedule, according to commenter “walgreens mgt” – who we can only assume is Walgreens’ savvy social networking flack. He/She (My gut says “she.” Care to confirm, flack?) says a grand opening is coming before October 1, probably around September 28\. Walgreens CEO, Greg Wasson, will visit to tour the store.
