New retail business in the works
Long-vacant former Walgreens being bought, renovated, officials say
ROCK FALLS – A Chicago-based property management company is bringing a new retail business to town, officials say.
The former Walgreens building at 1000 First Ave. has been vacant for 10 years, said Sandy Henrekin, executive director of Rock Falls Community Development Corp., which “helped facilitate” the deal with A.R.E. Partners and the future business owner.
A spokeswoman for A.R.E. Partners said because the deal is under contract, the company could not disclose who the business owner is or what type of store is planned.
