The Willkommen Committee of the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce made a stop at Walgreens to welcome Theodore Bargabus, the new store manager. He began in his new position in the New Ulm store in October, and has been with Walgreens for 17 years. Originally from the Twin Cities, Theodore has worked at 8 different Walgreens locations, most recently coming from the 24-hour Walgreens in Mankato. One thing Theodore already likes about the New Ulm location is being able to get to know the clientele better. Theodore doesn’t have any major changes planned for the New Ulm Walgreens, however he did bring with him a new pharmacist, Frank Dowling, a recent graduate from South Dakota. He also mentioned he’s been working with the colleges in and around the area helping with practice interviews.
