                                     PART I


Item 1.  Description of Business

      (a)  General development of business.

      Walgreen Co. (the "company" or "Walgreens") was incorporated in 1909 as a
successor to a business founded in 1901 as a single retail drugstore in Chicago,
Illinois, by Charles R. Walgreen, Sr.  At August 31, 1994, the company operated
1,966 retail drugstores and 2 mail order facilities in 30 states and Puerto
Rico.

      In fiscal 1994, the company opened 194 new drugstores, acquired 2 stores,
completed remodelings of 70 units, and closed 64 drugstores.  Net selling space
of drugstores was increased from 18.0 million to 19.3 million square feet.  In
the last five fiscal years, the company has opened 663 new drugstores, 1 new
mail service facility, acquired 21 stores, completed remodelings of 624 units
and closed 201 drugstores.  In addition, 2 major distribution centers were added
during the five-year period and 1 was closed.

      The company expects to open 200 or more new stores annually for the next
five years, with the goal of operating 3,000 stores by the year 2000.  The
company recently entered the Cleveland/Akron/Canton market with plans to have 15
stores open by Thanksgiving and expects to open four to five stores in Buffalo
by Christmas.  In the next three years, 25 to 30 stores are expected to open in
Philadelphia, the first of which will open in the fall of 1995.  The company
intends to enter the Seattle/Tacoma market in fiscal 1996.  An eighth major
distribution center is planned to open in fiscal 1995 near Sacramento,
California, to serve the growing store base in the western United States.

      Walgreens Healthcare Plus is the company's three-year old pharmacy mail
service subsidiary.  The Orlando, Florida, state-of-the-art facility, opened
September 1992.  The company also plans to open a new and larger mail service
facility in Tempe, Arizona, which is scheduled to be open in November 1994.
This unit, with an initial capacity of 5,000 prescriptions per day, is designed
to service future growth.

      Technological advances include the continued implementation of the
"Strategic Inventory Management System" designed to lower inventory investment
and improve marketing capabilities.  All major distribution centers are totally
on this new system while store implementation continues.  Store scanning is now
providing marketing information that was not available a few years ago.  Direct
links between the company's pharmacy computer network and third party
administrators represent over 80% of the company's third party business.  These
"links" cause faster reimbursement and lower rejection rates.  A multi-million
dollar project called Intercom Plus has begun.  This system, which is a
re-engineering of the prescription filling process, is designed to improve
productivity and patient service.  Store implementation is scheduled to begin in
Spring 1995.

      (b)  Financial information about industry segments.

      The company's primary business is the operation of retail drugstores.

                                       1


      (c)  Narrative description of business.

                   (i)  Principal products produced and services rendered.

                        The drugstores are engaged in the retail sale of
                   prescription and nonprescription drugs and carry additional
                   product lines such as general merchandise, liquor and
                   beverages, cosmetics, toiletries and tobacco.

                        The estimated contributions of various product classes
                   to sales for each of the last three fiscal years are as
                   follows:

                                                             Percentage_________
                        Product Class                1994       1993       1992_

                        Prescription Drugs            41%        38%        37%
                        General Merchandise *         24         25         25
                        Nonprescription Drugs *       13         14         14
                        Liquor, Beverages              9         10         11
                        Cosmetics, Toiletries *        9          9          9
                        Tobacco Products *             4          4          4__

                        Total Sales                  100%       100%       100%
                                                    ======     ======     ======
                        * Estimated based, in part, on periodic sampling of
                          about 1% of retail units.

                   (ii)  Status of a product or segment.

                        Not applicable.

                   (iii)  Sources and availability of raw materials.

                        Inventories are purchased from numerous domestic and
                   foreign suppliers.  The loss of any one supplier or group of
                   suppliers under common control would not have a material
                   effect on the business.

                        Fuel and other sources of energy are relied upon for the
                   distribution of merchandise and in the general operations of
                   the retail stores.  Increased energy costs over the years
                   have not materially increased the costs of operations.

                                       2

                   (iv)  Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises and
                   concessions held.

                        Walgreens markets products under various trademarks and
                   trade names and holds assorted business licenses (pharmacy,
                   occupational, liquor, etc.) having various lives, which are
                   necessary for the normal operation of business.

                   (v)  Seasonal variations in business.

                        The business is seasonal in nature, with Christmas
                   generating a higher proportion of sales and earnings than
                   other periods.  See the caption "The Walgreen Year...A Review
                   by Quarters" on Page 30 of the Annual Report to Shareholders
                   for the year ended August 31, 1994 ("Annual Report"), which
                   is incorporated herein by reference.

                   (vi)  Working capital practices.

                        During fiscal 1994 the company did obtain funds through
                   the placement of commercial paper.  The company generally
                   finances its inventory and expansion needs with internally
                   generated funds.  However, short-term borrowings will be
                   necessary to finance the growth in inventory prior to the
                   1994 Christmas season.

                        Due to the nature of the retail drugstore business,
                   sales are principally for cash.  Customer returns are
                   immaterial.

                   (vii)  Dependence upon limited number of customers.

                        Sales are to numerous customers which include health
                   maintenance organizations (HMOs); therefore, the loss of any
                   one customer or a group of customers under common control
                   would not have a material effect on the business.  No
                   customer accounts for ten percent or more of the company's
                   consolidated revenue.

                   (viii)  Backlog Orders.

                        Not applicable.

                   (ix)  Government contracts.

                        The company is not a party to any significant government
                   contracts.

                   (x)  Competitive conditions.

                        The drug store industry is highly competitive.  As one
                   of the volume leaders in the retail drug industry, Walgreens
                   competes with various retailers, including chain and
                   independent drugstores, grocery, variety and discount
                   department stores.  Competition remained keen during the
                   fiscal year with the company competing on the basis of price,
                   convenience and variety.  The company's geographic dispersion
                   tends to offset the impact of temporary economic and
                   competitive conditions in individual markets.

                                       3
                        Sales by geographic area for fiscal 1994 were as
                   follows:

                           South and Southeast                  28%
                           Midwest Locations other
                            than Chicago and Suburbs            21
                           Southwest                            18
                           Chicago and Suburbs                  14
                           West                                 10
                           East                                  9

                   (xi)  Research and development activities.

                        The company does not engage in any material research
                   activities.

                   (xii)  Environmental disclosures.

                        Federal, state and local environmental protection
                   requirements have no material effect upon capital
                   expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the
                   company.

                   (xiii)  Number of employees.

                        The company employs approximately 61,900 persons, about
                   19,900 of whom are part-time employees working less than 30
                   hours per week.

      (d)  Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and
           export sales.

                All the company sales occur within the continental United States
           and Puerto Rico.  There are no export sales.

     All warehouses listed above are fully utilized and are served by electronic
data processing systems for order processing control, operating efficiencies and
rapid merchandise delivery to stores.  All stores receive merchandise within two
days of ordering.  In addition, the company uses public warehouses to handle
distribution needs.  Distribution capacity is adequate now, but as the company
continues to expand, additional space will be needed to maintain service levels.
A major distribution center is planned to open in fiscal 1995 near Sacramento,
California, to serve the growing store base in the western United States.  This
335,000-square-foot facility, currently under construction, is owned in fee by
the company.  Studies are currently being performed to determine where and when
distribution space will be added.

     Most of the company's retail stores located in 30 states and Puerto Rico
are leased and fully utilized.  The leases are for various terms and periods.
See the caption, "Leases" on page 26 of the Annual Report, which is incorporated
herein by reference.  However, the company owns approximately 4% of the retail
stores open at August 31, 1994.  The company has an aggressive expansion program
of adding new stores and remodeling and repositioning existing stores.  Over the
past five years, approximately 70% of the Walgreen stores have been opened or
remodeled.

     The company's four principal office facilities are adequate for current
needs and no plans are currently being made for additional space.

       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ON SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES



       To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Walgreen Co.:

       We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
       the consolidated financial statements included in Walgreen Co. and
       Subsidiaries' annual report to shareholders incorporated by reference in
       this Form 10-K, and have issued our report thereon dated October 20,
       1994.  Our report on the financial statements includes an explanatory
       paragraph with respect to the changes in the methods of accounting for
       postretirement benefits other than pensions and income taxes as discussed
       in the Statement of Major Accounting Policies, under "Accounting
       Changes".  Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
       those statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules II, V, VI,
       and VIII included in this Form 10-K are the responsibility of the
       company's management and are presented for purposes of complying with the
       Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic
       financial statements.  These schedules have been subjected to the
       auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
       statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material respects the
       financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
       financial statements taken as a whole.
