Walgreens is expanding its robotic pharmacy infrastructure with the opening of a new automated micro-fulfillment center (MFC) in West Jordan, Utah, designed to streamline prescription dispensing for stores across the region.
The new site becomes the 13th MFC in Walgreens’ national network, which now supports more than 5,000 stores and fulfills roughly 18 million prescriptions per month.
The Utah facility will serve nearly 96 Walgreens locations, including 48 in Utah, by centralizing and automating prescription processing.

Micro-fulfillment centers use advanced robotics in a central pharmacy environment to efficiently dispense and ship medications to Walgreens stores.
The Utah launch follows the opening of a new MFC in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, in May 2025. Walgreens first introduced its automated prescription-fulfillment model in 2021 at a Dallas-area site built for rapid order turnaround.
The company said the continued expansion is aimed at improving accuracy, freeing up in-store pharmacists, and strengthening capacity across its omnichannel platforms.
