“My tire light came on. I saw this station and stopped to use the air. My tank was almost full. I explained my dilemma to the attendant, who helped me, lending a tire gauge and not charging anything. Nice way to help a stranger who may not be back for quite a while.”

“This review is not for the location but for one of the staff members. I often frequent this location to grab some energy drinks working from home. There is a wonderful woman name Rosland who is always smiling and helps me every time. Her excellent customer service and friendly demeanor are the reason I give this location my business. If this location could find more great employees like her, they would excel. In the past I have had awful experiences which made me not want to give this location my business. However, Rosland gave me hope for this location.”

“We needed some spot remover and bath supplies, and this was the closest pharmacy near our AirBnb. This CVS location is a little on the shabby side with one half of the double automatic doors blocked off with shelves and no self checkout section. That being said, the service both times I visited was friendly and prompt and all the items I needed beyond makeup were in stock, so four stars for helping me out CVS, you really came through in a pinch.”

“Overall, I’ve had a positive experience at this Walgreens, especially with the pharmacy department, which has always treated me well and provided good care. At times, when new staff members are being trained or recently hired, the customer service can feel a bit less warm or a little reserved. A more consistently welcoming and friendly approach would help improve the overall customer experience and make visits feel even more comfortable and satisfying. With continued training and support for new employees, this location has the potential to provide an even higher level of customer service across the board.”

“Sharmila is always wonderful. She greets me every time I enter the store. She has been working at Store #9086 for a long time. She knows where everything is, she has trained so many new employees and can run the front store. She's so kind, patient, and empathetic. She hold her composure when customers are rude and even down mean to her. Sharmila is definitely an asset to the CVS/Caremark company, customers, and fellow employees.”
