“Wheeler was very professional and accommodating. I had an Asurion repair on my Galaxy S21 from Verizon. The repair was quick and expedient. His communication was excellent. I will definitely frequent this establishment after the experience I had with Wheeler.”
“Great place and good sandwiches. The Cuban Sandwich is the best you will ever find in a Gas Station, and literally beats out a lot of restaurants! Can't go wrong with it. Chicken salad and tuna sandwich are also good.”
“This is a family operated business. They're great! They have a good selection of drinks and snacks. They also have hot food. Pizza by the slice and made to order as well as breakfast food. They have Beach supplies and just opened a Beach Supply, clothing and souvenir store next door.”
“This is such an awesome spot! There is something for pretty much everyone inside. Quick grab snacks, food, coffee (both quick and also a Starbucks), candy, gifts, local honey, Panama City Beach merch, fudge, etc! They also have kitschy nostalgic things like tiny shells to fill a jar and polished rocks to fill a bag. Everything is well organized and clean.”
“I love this place. The fudge is delicious. The staff is always nice and friendly. The restrooms are always clean. If you like candy from back in the day,they have it.”
“Clean and bright inside. Wish they stayed open later since they are the last gas station if your headed west . The employees are friendly and nice. Love the music that is always bumping whenever I go inside. They have alot of items. They have a small kitchen that creates to go food items. And the gas pumps are well lit up at night so you can see plus a woman doesn't feel uncomfortable. It's a great spot to stop in for most of your wants and needs.”
“Breanna, the lead pharmacist at Pier Park, has been wonderful in helping me navigate getting my Mom the correct medication in a timely manner. I wish the rest of the healthcare system could clone her. We'd all be better off.”
“This is the BEST little locals Convenience Store on PCB.... Family owned and operatedTeresa and Renee are awesome......If they don't have it, they'll go out of their way to get it for you!!!! Always nice and friendly.Great people and a Great Store!!!”
“The artist is amazing. It is a great price. The only thing they could do better is setting expectations on how henna works. Initially, it looked like it did not work at all. We were upset. The guy there was super nice and supportive. I hope he is there next time we go. He deserves a big tip and thank you. We will definitely go.back and be better customers next time.”
“I shop at this location ever morning and the staff are amazing. The staff keeps the place looking great all the time. Thanks for your great service to your customers.”
“New to FL, so far this location has been the most helpful (out of a dozen+ pharmacies I've tried) they care about people and are willing to go out of their way to help unlike other locations such as 660 E hwy 98 who go out of their way to turn down business (dont go there). I really appreciate this staff and look forward to being a regular customer. Thank you!”
“This review is only for the Minute Clinic at this CVS location in Panama City Beach. I already knew what I needed, but could not buy it without a script. I didn't know the process at Minute Clinic, so it was a bit clumsy. There are no such things as walk-ins. You have to request an appointment, either online or at the kiosk. There was no one available to guide me through the process or provide instructions. There was one person working, the doctor, who only comes out momentarily between patients. When you apply for the appointment, it will tell you when the next available appointment is. Be prepared with insurance information and credit/debit card information. It will cost you. I found out that had I been in my home state my insurance would have paid all but a co-pay, but since I was out of state they would not cover it. I hate medical insurance companies. When you come for your appointment, sign in at the kiosk, and be prepared to wait. The name "minute clinic" is a bit misleading. There will be as much medical and insurance bureaucracy here as anywhere else in the USA. Thankfully, once I got in, the doctor was thorough and pleasant. She confirmed what I knew and provided the script which I had filled at the CVS pharmacy. I started the process at lunchtime and got out at 6 PM. That's one long minute, but it was faster and less expensive than driving to the Mexican border to purchase what I needed at a Mexican pharmacy. I give: 5 stars to the doctor 3 stars for the clinic itself 4 stars for the pharmacy. Average: 4 stars”
“I'm not too sure what this is, I didn't know that you could review a lane?? Uh, but all the lanes I went down were very smooth and easy, so I suppose which ever one this one was and wherever it is, I liked it and would recommend a ride down it. Nothing bad to say from me, but at the same time I'm really not too sure where this is because I cant remember or I dont know when this popped up for me to review. Have a good day anyways though!”
“Watched the photo lady handle a rude customer with patience and while trying to help them with the western union money thing. She tryed to explain that they were not a full operational for it and that the customer might another store that had the full service for Western Union. She answered my own question and even helped me with getting the discount they had available for what I was buying. Very friendly and helpful. Thank you”
“Small store across the street from the beach which makes it incredibly convenient to run to if you forgot anything. My son & I have given up on carrying drinks for our walk to the beach as its just easier to stop here. Very friendly lady working nights. Appreciate they are open late enough to enjoy our evening beach trips.”
“Store staff was extremely helpful wallows waiting on the pharmacy to reopen from lunch they directed me to the magazine section and a seating area for waiting Pharmacy staff went above and beyond I had forgotten my nighttime medication for a 5-day stay away from home and they filled just the 5 days for me with no problem at all”
“The efficient and quick response to fill a prescription that had expired but was necesssry to maintain monitoring my husband’s diabetes was greatly appreciated. It involved contacting the doctor and following through when the request was initially sent to the wrong CVS and was the wrong prescription. They assured me that if we could get the prescription corrected, they would be able to fill it. Staying the course and not compromising their values was successful in getting the medication we needed.”
“Normally the employees are friendly, today someone I haven't dealt with before acted like I was bothering her by coming in. Maybe she was just hangry or having a bad day, it was lunchtime.”
“i've been going to this pharmacy for about a year and honestly this is the nicest, most helpful pharmacy i've ever been to. they always do everything they can to help even when they are slammed and always have a good attitude”
“Elyse is a priceless employee and deserves a raise. She is welcoming, informative, kind, engaging, and helpful. Please give this girl a raise and keep her around. She makes your business look good ♥️”
“This store is always packed. They have a Subway and lots to choose from. Bathrooms are in good shape and the staff is friendly. I've never experienced a time where all fuel selections weren't available. Good place”
“I came in here yesterday, I wasn’t having a very good day at all but the cashier, Abby, was very sweet & made my day a lot better, thank you I needed that nice hospitality in this crazy world we live in”
“Always offer great customer service at good prices and treat me like I’m walking a red carpet! The associate spoke with me about different offers and wasn’t bothered to assist me , don’t mind spending money in CVS”
“I like going to Tom Thumb. I stop in for Red Bulls, Yogurt, Candy, snacks and Gas. The restrooms are most always spotless an if there not, someone will get right on it! The employee's are really cool. I guess because I stop in so much you get to know them some. Gas prices fluctuate a good bit, but I suppose it's that way everywhere. I do think the employee's take pride in the cleanliness of the store and at the pumps!”
“I feel like everyone was watching me as the took advantage of me nothing I could do tried to beg for help and nothing asked them.to stop but the tank wasn't even half way full yet. The gas station tho clean professional and friendly”
“I went into this store today looking for some gauze pads. I just had surgery and was bleeding and needed a bandage. The lady working there, named Lynn, helped me out because the store didn’t see these pads, I needed, but she told me she had a small pack in the back I could have. I had explained I just had oral surgery and needed a new bandage for my mouth. Lynn was very sweet and helped me. She didn’t have to do that especially considering the pandemic and the fear of catching a virus. I observed her with other customers, as well, and she was very professional and friendly with each customer. Express Lane needs to consider themselves lucky they have such an employee working for them because ones like Lynn are hard to find. Seriously, if I lived in Panama City ( I am only here for oral surgery) I would hire her to work for my husbands company. Great job, Lynn!”
