“I've passed by this store for over 8 years and have never stopped in, what a mistake. The food is delicious made fresh, they have dips and Cuban sandwiches and hot plates to go.”
“The people here are EXTREMELY NICE!! Anytime my brother needs a certain alcohol, Mike is on top of it!! ALWAYS cashes my lottery tickets NO MATTER HOW MUCH they are!! Mike and his family, are very pleasant, almost always smiling. The older gentleman, is pleasant just doesn't smile all that much. And I believe Mike's mother she is Such a Pretty Lady!! I FINALLY got her to come out of her shell a little bit. Having her smile, and making quick conversation. This Liquor store, is just, just great!! I have ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS!! Thanks again for ALWAYS looking out for my brother and myself even though I don't drink. I am a lotto girl!! Thanks guys!!”
“I recently moved to the area and stopped into the Dearborn Corner Market, and I am so glad I did! This place is a gem. The first thing I noticed was how extremely clean and well-organized the entire store is. They are incredibly well-stocked with a fantastic selection—I was impressed by the variety of everything from their fishing tackle and bait supplies to the walk-in humidor and a great craft beer selection. The highlight of my visit, however, was Dee at the front counter. She was so welcoming and took the time to tell me all about the town. When I mentioned we just moved here, she made me feel right at home. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality these days. This is a great little corner market with a local feel and top-tier service. We will definitely be back a lot!”
“I am overwhelmed with satisfaction with this store. The gentleman and the lady that works here are phenomenal.....they were open the day after the hurricane accepting cash and card when the power was out. Very friendly and professional... always greet their customers with a positivity and their prices are very fair and affordable. Very happy with this store. 100/100”
“I like this Shell it's a bit of everything. Blockchain coin Bitcoin ATM and the quarter ledge game. Fried Chicken place coming soon... Looks like he's doing upgrades rn”
“Best local spot to get my morning Starbucks coffee cigarettes, twisted teas, and my vapes. The two gentleman that works there are the best I enjoy chit chatting with them.”
“Fast ,friendly and convenient ! Limited products but it can't have everything a big convenient store holds ! Definitely go there for things like Milk , Drinks, Ice and a few more items ..... cigarettes”
“Every staff member I encountered was notably helpful and courteous, except for one Jamaican woman. While a couple of staff members were busy assisting other customers, a team member radioed in for more assistance. The Jamaican woman emerged from what appeared to be a staff lounge, walked behind the photo counter with body language that I perceived as unwelcoming and annoyed. When I conveyed our needs, she instructed us to wait for another staff member, then walked away without communicating this to the person she indicated. Rudeness, whether through words or body language, is easily noticeable. The Jamaican staff member demonstrated a clear lack of customer service.”
“The cashier Adam is very personable, helpful and friendly. He brings professionalism that is lacking in many businesses these days. I was super impressed the first time I saw him there and continued to be. Thanks for great service.”
“This Walgreens Pharmacy team are rock stars! Terri, mark and the pharmacist are all kind and compassionate. Even when this Pharmacy is busy - they all take such good care in a high tension situations. (Disgruntled customers) Thank you for taking care of our community. Gold stars for team Walgreens!”
“Great place to stop for essentials. I accidentally left my phone while getting ice. Went back hours later and Linda who was the customer service asked me to verify the phone description before returning it to me. Wonderful honest and so humble. Wouldn't take a reward. I'll send something. Thank you Linda!”
“I came to Walgreens to have a photo put on canvas. The associates Xena, Jaden and Brittany were unbelievable. Brittany is so professional caring and a joy to work with. Thank you for all the help you gave me. I can’t say anything more about how great they were to work with . Thank you again.”
“I REALLY like Nancy, very sweet woman. Very knowledgeable, and VERY PATIENT with some of the NOT so nice customers. And Letty?! One of the nicest, sweetest, caring, funny lady!! When ever I see her she ALWAYS makes me smile whether I am having a bad day. She makes me feel like she cares, and she cares for her customers as well. Some people think that it is the register person's fault for taking SO LONG on ONE customer. But, NEVER seem to realize it is them. It is the customers that have to chit-chat and ask a million questions!! Nancy and Letty take a deep breath, and try to help them on their way, but SOME PEOPLE are just inconsiderate and believe they are more important than anyone else. I give those two ladies a lot of credit, for their patience, and keeping their cool, EVEN when I EVEN couldn't deal with some of those people!! Lol. Thank you Nancy, and Letty?! You have NO IDEA, how just that little bit of stopping and asking how I am doing REALLY makes a better day for me!!”
