“This was an absolute game changer. When Noone else could fill a script I needed they had what I needed even made the call to my docotor to make the transaction easier. Marina was awesome and her new technician very helpful even offered a 10 dollar referral for new clients. I refer into the pharmacy as a client to sign up. I will be sharing this pharmacy with anyone who's in need of one! They went above and beyond. She is knowledgeable and helpful and filled my prescriptions in a matter of minutes. I would recommend Palm Bay Pharmacy over Walgreens or CVS you feel like they actually care about your well being. That's important these days !?? love the green bottles added touch for the holidays. Prices were great as well and takes many types of insurance. Well stocked shelves as well for things like bandaid or first aid vitamins things of that nature. Also while you wait a drink case stocked with water and soda. I was impressed it had good traffic flow of clients all seemed happy with there service.”
“Just like every other Publix. Good variety, excellent departments ~ bakery, deli, etc. Middle priced in the grocery chains. 4 out of 5 Lori Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I love this Publix. I was devastated when they closed the Publix on Babcock and Palm Bay. This one in Malabar has always been closer to our residence, but the one in Palm bay has always been closest to our home office, which we find convenient. I have recently heard that they will be coming back by next year hopefully, in the meantime, I will continue to go to the Malabar one. We love the pub subs, we love the freshness of the fruits and vegetables, and I always find items here that I cannot find or aren’t in stock at Winn-Dixie or other competitors so I just Walmart.

“This is how Pharmacies are meant to be. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and they make you feel valued as a customer. We have had all of our prescriptions transferred and have been coming here for the last few years. The big pharmacies do not compare to the personal service of The Family Pharmacy!”
“I love this pharmacy and their staff.Very helpful and attentive.They actually answer their phone unlike Walgreens or CVS. I’m a very happy new customer that has moved all my scripts here.”
“Linnete, Daniele, Teresa, Rochelle, Yaya, and Leslie and of course Ancor and the rest of the workers there make you feel like FAMILY! My wife Edna and I, Richard, have been coming to the Malabar Pharmacy over 16 years! And refuse to go anywhere else because of the wonderful caring staff there!”
“The long awaited Publix Heritage Square is like a breath of fresh air!! It eliminates the often tedious drive down congested Malabar Road. Well stocked, organized, and easy to navigate. International foods that reflect the demographics. Lots of helpful, friendly associates to assist. Thank you Publix for the convenience and value!!”
“I am so happy switched pharmacies. After dealing with a rude staff member at Publix pharmacy, I decided to give this new place a call and I am so glad I did. The owner and his staff are caring, not to mention their 5-star reviews. Not having to wait all day long for your script to be ready. The owner has a caring heart. The day I picked up my prescriptions he told me I’m in good hands because I am now apart of the family. That truly meant a lot. I am beyond grateful to find a caring pharmacist 🩷”
“I like Winn Dixie. I have found good produce and meats at reasonable prices. Publix is great, however I think their prices are consistently higher than Winn Dixie or Aldi's.”
“Friendly staff inside to assist with any issues or of course answer questions. Relatively low cost for today's world around us. I'm glad I went here. Five Stars.”
“This is the best pharmacy I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with! Dan, the pharmacist goes above and beyond. Everyone here has always been very professional and helpful! Highly recommend!”
“The assortment of cold food and package food is not much. It's ok for being a pharmacy if you need to pick up something quick to eat. The cashier was helpful specifically explaining their coupon policy. The store was clean and well as the bathrooms. Also nice and quiet.”
“Walgreens began in 1901, with a small food front store on the corner of Bowen and Cottage Grove Avenues in Chicago, owned by Dixon, Illinois native Charles R. Walgreen.[6] By 1913, Walgreens had grown to four stores on Chicago's South Side. It opened its fifth in 1915 and four more in 1916. By 1919, there were 20 stores in the chain.As a result of alcohol prohibition, the 1920s were a successful time for Walgreens. Although alcohol was illegal, Walgreens sold prescription whiskey.[7] This prescribed alcohol was sold at inflated price, which was much higher than the pricing at the bathtub or the speakeasy.[8] In 1922, the company introduced a malted milkshake, which led to its establishing ice cream manufacturing plants.[9] A Walgreens employee called Ivar Coulson modified the basic malted milk recipe by adding scoops of vanilla ice cream.[10][11] The milkshake was sold at $0.20 and Walgreens became the place to "hang out".[9] The next year, Walgreens began opening stores away from residential areas. In the mid-1920s, there were 44 stores with annual sales of $1,200,000 combined. Walgreens had also expanded by then into Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin. By 1930, it had 397 stores with annual sales of $4,000,000. This expansion partly was attributed to selling prescribed alcohol, mainly whiskey, which Walgreen often stocked under the counter, as accounted in Daniel Okrent's Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition.[12]The stock market crash in October 1929 and subsequent Great Depression did not greatly affect the company. By 1934, Walgreens was operating 601 stores in 30 states. After Walgreen died in 1939, his son Charles R. Walgreen Jr. took over the chain until his retirement. The Charles R. Walgreen Jr. years were relatively prosperous but lacked the massive expansion seen in the early part of the century. In 1946, Walgreens purchased Sanborns, one of Mexico's largest pharmacy and department store chains, from Frank Sanborn (Walgreens sold Sanborns to Grupo Carso in 1982).[13] Charles "Cork" R. Walgreen III took over after Walgreen Jr.'s retirement in the early 1950s and modernized the company by switching to barcode scanning. The company also created larger-sized Walgreens Superstores and purchased the Globe Discount City chain of big-box stores from United Mercantile, Inc. in the 1960s. The Walgreen family was not involved in senior management of the company for a short time after Walgreen III retired. In the 1980s Walgreens owned and operated a chain of casual family restaurants/pancake houses called Wag's. Walgreens sold most of these to Marriott Corp. in 1988,[14] and by 1991 the chain was out of business. In 1986, Walgreens acquired the MediMart chain from Stop & Shop.[15] Kevin P. Walgreen was made a vice-president in 1995 and promoted to senior vice president of store operations in 2006.[16]”

“Walgreens on Malabar Road in Palm Bay is a well managed Walgreens location that has all of the basic items that you need when you need them. This store is clean and well organized so it is easy to find exactly what you are looking for. The staff here is very responsive and helpful.”
“Katie and Kristin are ROCK STARS!!! First of all, the fact this Pharmacy is literally three minutes from my front door makes life so much easier. Plus a drive thru!!! So awesome!! For years, we used a different Publix Pharmacy. But, now that this one is opened, we decided to give it a try. Quite honestly, we weren’t sure if we wanted to transfer everything especially since we dealt with a great staff at other location. This new spot is much more convenient silly not to try it out. Well, happy to say it was the BEST decision!! Katie and Kristin have both been incredibly helpful, kind and are true examples of SUPERIOR customer service!! Thank you for helping us with the transition and always answering questions with a smile. We appreciate you greatly!!!”
“I have to say that I am impressed with the improvements that Winn-Dixie has made and I am pleased to make the announcement that Winn-Dixie has made a comeback.Winn-Dixie had seemingly lost its way several years ago and I noticed that the overall quality of the supermarket had slipped dramatically. I guess that the corporate bigwigs at Southeast Grocers (the parent company of Winn-Dixie and, by the way, based in Jacksonville, Florida) noticed this decline (or probably more appropriately the decline in sales) and took action. In my opinion, the most significant improvement that Winn-Dixie made was making their meat department shine. At one point, Winn-Dixie probably called itself the Beef People, but the quality had declined in their meat department over the years. Well, I am happy to say that Winn-Dixie has put an emphasis on their USDA Choice graded beef and it certainly has made a difference. Overall, I am extremely pleased that Winn-Dixie has made these changes and I give it five stars.”
“The staff here is always helpful and pleasant; they deliver promptly and have been taking care of me for quite a few years. Thanks, Benzer people, you deserve the five stars!!”
“What I ordered vs what I got This is my first hit and miss. I ordered a Publix Philly Whole sub. First of all Al was under the impression that a Philly sandwich was made with steak as opposed to roast beef. However, this sandwich was just meat bread and veggies. There was no provolone cheese to be found. Needless to say that when I went to eat the sandwich, it was dry, and my taste buds were not happy. Next time I will make the trek up the road and get an original Philly Cheesesteak sandwich”
“I went into Walgreens today for a quick stop and I absolutely loved the cashier Vanessa. She is such a lovely person and has the most beautiful personality! She makes shopping here so simple and enjoyable!”
“Wonderful team at the pharmacy day and night weekends too . If there is a problem with your prescription, they will get to the bottom of it always working things out. It will spend time on the phone with your doctor and make sure everything is correct. Would give them more than five stars if I could. Super friendly, very professional.”
“We stopped here during our vacation and needed some quick things. Walgreens is always usually good for things like this. Want to also give a shout out to Lissa for being so kind and patient with us while helping us find things. She is an absolute sweetheart!”
“The people working at the pharmacy dept are always very nice and friendly. Made my visit quick and I was even offered the flu shot which I took advantage of since there was no waiting.”
“Shopping at CVS is always a good experience and the staff are helpful whenever I need help looking for a product, and every associate is very friendly and go out of their way to help me.”

“Well my meds where $66 . If I use my insurance half that. But Good RX would be $4.14. well I showed her Good RX coupon on my phone. Well the product had changed so coupon wouldn't work. She kept at it,went to manager,and got me the discount without me pushing her. She did the right thing. Good job ? thanks”
