Bay Area Walgreens' Fresh Food Program Rolls Out

Sushi at Walgreens? Hai!

Also, fresh fruits and vegetables, salads, sandwiches and ready-to-heat meat loaf.

The array of vittles, spotted at a Walgreens in San Francisco's Outer Richmond, is part of a Bay Area pilot program focused on "consumers looking for more healthy food alternatives," said Robert Elfinger, a spokesman for the Deerfield, Ill., drug store chain.

"Our San Francisco area customers are already buying a lot of food in our stores, and there are requests for more product offerings," he said.

In addition to the items listed above – and Walgreens' more traditional offerings, including candy, potato chips and soda – there'll be meats, wraps, soups "and other on-the-go meal options, as well as convenient alternatives for tonight's meal," said Elfinger.
