New Walgreen's Opening on East 18th Street on Oct 25, free giveaways on hand

Michael Beamer, the general manager for the new Walgreens opening this month at 301 East 18th Street in Oakland has an invite out to everyone in Oakland to come celebrate the opening of the store on Monday, October 25th from 10am to 5pm.

Michael says "Our Wellness Tour Bus will be on hand that day to give $140 of FREE health screenings to the community with no appointment needed. In addition to the Health screenings, we will have a spinning wheel of FREE giveaways, a ribbon cutting ceremony at 1pm, and more!"

Does this mean there are going to be free flu shots? That would be amazingly cool.
