Forty Wall St., once the tallest building in the world, is now home to a 22,000-square-foot flagship store for Duane Reade. The 24-hour store, scheduled to open Thursday, has an "up market" focus,
with health care, food and beauty offerings, plus exclusive services and amenities never before seen in a Duane Reade or any other drugstore.
Among the distinctly non-drug store type
amenities are a Sushi Station, featuring a chef and full menu; a Juice Market, offering smoothies; a Starbucks coffee and fresh bakery counter; one of Coca-Cola's new Freestyle machine dispensing 130
varieties of Coca-Cola; and an expanded natural and organic section containing fresh fruits, vegetables, wraps, and sandwiches and salads.
Also, the store will have a "Doctor On
Premises" service and Duane Reade's first pharmacy "Powered by Walgreens Pharmacy Network."
