Walgreens, which is set to open a new 25,000-square-foot “emporium” in Boston’s Downtown Crossing in May, plans another smaller store less than a half-mile away in the shopping district.

The 10,000-square foot Walgreens at 600 Washington St. and Essex Street is slated to open later this year.

The store will be a more traditional Walgreens format with a few elements of the company’s “Well Experience” concept, such as fresh food offerings, spokeswoman Mai Lee Ua said.
