Exploring a Massive Walgreens Headquarters
Ойын-сауық
Today, we are exploring a massive Walgreens Headquarters in the Midwest. This place closed down a couple years ago and was emptied out. I think they are getting ready to sell the place or demolish it. The owner has added 24/7 security after they found all the graffiti inside.

DISCLAIMER: Exploring abandoned and decaying places is very dangerous and can lead to injury or even legal consequences if you are not properly prepared. Get permission from the land owner before exploring places like these and be extra cautious when exploring alone. Wear the proper exploring gear and always let someone know where you are.
The code of urbex (urban exploration) is to leave the location just as you found it. Don't steal anything, vandalize, or spray paint. Take only pictures and leave only footprints.

as a walgreens employee, it’s reassuring knowing that the abandoned headquarters is in better shape than some of the stores i’ve worked at!!

As a former SL I’m so glad they got fed everyday for free I’m sure and had Starbucks, bless their overpaid hypocritical souls. This is the reason we weren’t/ aren’t paid enough by this company.

You should collaborate with this channel called the Proper People! They also explore abandoned buildings all over the world.😊 I’m pretty sure they have explored abandoned buildings in the Midwest as well.

Very backrooms!
Wouldn't be bad to turned in to apartment complex
My friend has been in there. He works at the HQ down the street.
I grew up in blue island right by this place. Always wondered about it
Very clean and power still in. Fresh find! Nice job!
The sound of nothingness in a abandoned complex music to my ears
One thing I’ve always wondered about the places that he explores is how do they fall into abandonment
WinXP, and the computer still on and running, haha.
Must be in Deerfield, Illinois.
14:43 they left stewie behind!
No way you took the elevator wtf
Good video.
At first I thought the cops were just sitting their as a speed trap for the tuners, etc. Now I know why they’re really chilling on the property at 1AM when I’m going grocery shopping 😂
Keep up the good work, love what you do on your videos ❤ I'm late to this channel, But this is what I love, KZreadrs who explore abandoned buildings. (Its like an adventure for me like I'm actually there too. Sadly, a good portion of youtubers have shifted from exploring abandon things to demon and ritual stuff. (Something I'd rather not watch).
There has to be an executive office suite in their somewhere.
Windows XP?? 🤔
This reminds me of The Backrooms. Excellent explore, kind of creepy with everything so empty.
Zombie apocalypse I can hold up I can hold up in that.

Owner probably wants to make sure the building is okay. During winter heat probably has to be set low so pipes don’t burst.
Do you have permission to be here? Bc if there paying to keep the lights on then they def have security so its not fully abandoned
Weird how both the Walgreens signs don’t have the W lol

It’s actually not weird at all. The W alone represents the brand. Someone either intended to use it for a personal decoration, or intended on selling it. You don’t really need the rest of the letters

Ask Walgreens to let homeless people sleep in their huge multi-million dollar building, see what they say. Homeless people wreck the place. They need real homes, not abandoned corporate offices. Can you imagine the smell, violence, drugs, sex, piss, shit, and overdosed dead people lying around. You would need 100 social workers and 10 cops just to maintain order, so not cheap just stupid.
HOW DO YOU FIND THESE PLACES??? They look untouched and thats soooo hard to come by now days. Usually something lasts untill someone cares about it. Once its left teenagers smash everything possible to smash
How many stories is this building? Gosh it’s huge! Amazing! I haven’t seen any bathrooms! Lol I wouldn’t get in thst elevator! Lol crazy the computers still work!

I live in the area by their HQ, this isn’t their main headquarters which is still in operation right down the street. They had extra office space that they got rid of post COVID because a lot of their employees work from home so they don’t need to pay for all the extra office space
Why did Walgreens move ?

The pandemic was a big part of it. I grew up in the area, they have an enormous campus! When COVID happened and people began working from home they realized they didn’t need certain staff to work in the office anymore. This part of the campus is sort of down the street more from the main headquarters campus so it made sense to downsize and they didn’t really need this part of the campus anymore. The rest of the campus is still very much in use today
Who else wants to live there lol?
