“A & S located on parkway east. Immediately before or after the train tracks, depending on your direction of travel. Is without hesitation or a single doubt our #1 pick for the absolute BEST, one stop shop convenience store within a solid fifty mile radius! The wonderful couple who owns and operates this location, are extremely rare individuals! This store has everything you could imagine (need) I assure you. If by a very small chance they do not have what you are looking for. Quickly mention your desires to Amir or his wife Shamim and your next visit I guarantee your product is available”

“Stopped here to get gas and pick up some beer and I was surprised to see an amazing collection of craft beer in this store! The owner was really helpful at suggesting different craft beers and appears to have a great knowledge in the area! I am so glad I don't have to go all the way downtown to buy craft beer anymore! It turns out this is the only store in Leeds and Moody with an amazing collection of craft beer! They also have a great variety of wines! I was able to find some Snakehandler IPA beer from Good People brewery, which is very difficult to find around this time of year (considering the beer is seasonal)! Overall, I am just glad to have found this store, where I can count on finding something exotic like "Founders KBS" or "Hopslam" or something like "Bud Light!"”

“I want to give a big shoutout to Leeds Walgreens!! I needed to get the rabies vaccine for school. This vaccine isn’t commonly sought out or available, let alone approved by insurance. I called many other local pharmacies, some wouldn’t even administer it, answer the phone, or help me navigate the insurance issues. As a last ditch effort I called Leeds Walgreens, they answered promptly and told me to come fill out some paperwork since I wasn’t a client there. They ran my insurance anyway and told me the vaccine was covered 100%! They ordered it for me and had it in the next day. They have been SO kind and helpful. They saved me over $1,000! Also watching them interact with other clients while I was waiting, they are very kind and efficient. Very very happy with my experience! *Please note that this is a pre-exposure vaccine series, meaning it’s prophylactic. If you are bit by a wild animal or animal of unknown vaccination status you need to go to the hospital immediately* I don’t want people showing up there after being bit by a raccoon because of my post lol.”
