“We opened Heartland Clinic of Platte City more than five years ago and quickly became a Chamber member to be more involved in the community. Platte County is one of the fastest growing areas in the metropolitan Kansas City region. We knew that if we were going to provide convenient, quality, health care where it was needed most, we needed to be a part of Platte City which is right in the thick of where growth and development is taking place. The Chamber has helped us develop the perfect strategy to be a great partner for local businesses and we enjoy every minute of being a part of this thriving community.”

“Walgreens is very selective about where we locate our stores. We look for high traffic locations where we know we can grow and prosper for many years. Platte City is exactly the kind of community that Walgreens was looking for. There are great people within the community and surrounding areas that we are privileged to have as our customers.”
