A Walgreens official said Thursday the company’s new drugstore on Bainbridge Island will open in November.

Walgreens is the anchor tenant in a new shopping center being built by Visconsi Companies, an Ohio-based developer, on the northeast corner of Highway 305 and High School Road.

Construction of the new drugstore and a nearby KeyBank branch has intensified in recent months. Last week, work crews put in new sidewalks along High School Road. Signage has also been raised on the Walgreens building.

Walgreens has also raised a sign at its High School Road location announcing that the company is currently accepting job applications.

Philip Caruso, with Walgreens Media Relations, said the store at 1315 Wintergreen Lane will be approximately 14,000 square feet in size.

People interested in positions at the store can apply online at http://careers.walgreens.com/ and follow up in-person at Walgreens’ Silverdale store located at 9709 Silverdale Way, (at the corner of Silverdale and Bucklin Hill Road).
