Walgreens Plans February Summit for New Products

Walgreens is looking to expand its product selection with new items from diverse, local and regional suppliers.

The pharmacy retailer will partner with RangeMe and ECRM for its annual Localization Summit on Feb. 22, 2023. The virtual event will allow suppliers to pitch their products to the Walgreens merchandising team for consideration.

Walgreens will review submissions, and will invite selected suppliers for face-to-face virtual meetings with buyers on ECRM’s industry leading virtual meeting platform, ECRM Connect. Suppliers can find additional information about the virtual event and apply to attend here.

“To be a trusted health and well-being destination, we work hard to remain relevant for customers in each of our communities and curate a selection of products and services that meet their unique needs,” said Luke Rauch, Walgreens chief merchandising officer and senior vice president. “When our shelves reflect the communities we serve, we can better live out our purpose of more joyful lives through better health.”

Walgreens operates nearly 9,000 retail locations across the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
