SOUTH WHITEHALL TWP., Pa.- Pharmacy chain Walgreens has opened a new micro-fulfillment center in South Whitehall Township.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held this week at the facility at 4741 Chapmans Road.
The centers are designed to streamline prescription fulfillment, Walgreens said.
Employees- with assistance from robotic technology- process, fill, and ship prescription orders to Walgreens stores, allowing the pharmacists who work in those stores to spend more time with patients.
The South Whitehall location is Walgreens’ fifteenth micro-fulfillment center in the U.S. It will support nearly 650 Walgreens stores across the region, including 55 in Pennsylvania, and is expected to process nearly 29 million prescriptions annually.
According to previous reporting from WFMZ, Walgreens is using about 67,500 square feet of an existing warehouse on Chapmans Road.
A spokesperson said the new facility is bringing about 185 new jobs to the area. Not all of the positions have been filled; interested applicants can see what’s available by clicking here.
