“Phamacist was awesome. She was able to pull my refill from another walgreens and fill immediately for me. I was at work and needed my meds asap (which I had forgotten at home). Cannot thank her enough for caring and handling!”
“A lot of the bad ratings are for pharmacy, which is seperate from the store itself on google. The store is always very clean and organised, which is really nice. Employees are decent and polite, but not really all that great at hiding the fact that some do not want to be there. One girl ringing me up once was on her personal phone talking and laughing. But she isn't the majority. Either way, its nice to have a Walgreens so close and so nice, saving me from having to get my snacks somewhere else.”
“I recently discovered Wilmette Market, a newly established, family-owned store near me, and I couldn’t be happier with it! The store is incredibly well-organized, making it easy to find whatever you need. Their prices are great and very reasonable, especially for the quality of the items they offer. Harry, one of the owners, is extremely helpful and always goes out of his way to assist with finding things. He’s super friendly and makes you feel welcome every time you stop by. His father is equally kind and approachable, making this market a warm and inviting place to shop. Whether you’re looking for alcohol, snacks, or other kinds of drinks, Wilmette Market has it all. I highly recommend that people in the area stop by and check it out. Not only will you find great products, but you’ll also meet some genuinely nice people. Harry and his father are the kind of people you’d want to make friends with—they’re just that chill! Support this local gem, you won’t be disappointed!”
“"Exceptional selection, knowledgeable staff, and unbeatable prices!? This liquor store is a gem for any enthusiast. Whether you're looking for a rare whiskey, a fine wine, or craft beer, they have you covered. The welcoming atmosphere and personalized service make every visit a pleasure. Highly recommend!"??”
“We have always used them intermittently but now it’s a must for all of our cars foreign or domestic. They are courteous, professional and look to establish a long term relationship not maximize their bill every time you come in. It’s such a pleasure to work with them.”
“I live in Chicago and work in Des Plaines. And this gas station has the cheapest gas anywhere that I've been to. And they also have everything you need in their convenience store including Subway. Highly recommend it.”
“Best gas station. Can't beat the deals, food and employees they have. Great coffee for a gas station I honestly prefer it over Starbucks and on my 7th cup it's free which tastes so GOOD when it's FREE!!!!”
“Great store with a surprisingly large selection. A little higher prices, but for the convenience it's worth it on some of the items or on a late night run for snacks.”
“Mari @ Store 355 (riverwoods) is always so welcoming and accomodating to me and the other customers. Thanks Mari for being there for all of us and helping us start our day on the right path at Thorntons! Great customer service!”
“This place had homemade Posole which is amazing!!! A needle in the haystack find. They also have authentic Mexico herbal tea leaves such as cola de caballo (helps with kidney stones, tract infections, etc) if you want to experience the real Mexican culture in Illinois.. here is your best chance!”
“I was staying at a nearby hotel, when I needed a close by convenience store. This place showed up in Google, HP Food &Beverage. Wasn't expecting to find the only non alcoholic beverage I drink, but they had it (Bai Coconut) and I bought all that was in the cooler. Purchased a few other items also. Paid with cash, and received a discount. If I'm every back that way, I'll be sure to patronize your store again.”
“Really nice gas station, very friendly. Also, the air and vac machine is great! Used it the other day and loved it! Looks really sharp, too! Definitely will return in the future if I need a quick vacuum or air in my tires.”
“Easy in and out from Milwaukee Rd. Pumps are always functional and maintained. I appreciate they try to remain competitive with their fuel prices considering Woodman's and Thorton's just down the road. The C-Store always seems to be jumping with their specials on quick food and drinks.”
“I pass by Pharmacies that are closer for this CVS location. Professional and friendly. I receive all vaccines here in Lake Bluff and recommend them over all others in the Northern Suburbs.!!!”
“Love this gas station! The customer service is awesome and my favorite is Mary!!! She is always happy to help and always smiling! It's always a pleasure to see her!!!”
“Switched to this CVS pharmacy based on positive online reviews. I have not been disappointed. Great drive thru service. Competent and friendly staff. Clean and well managed store. Previously used Walgreens, but their pharmacy services have become a disaster. Walgreens would mysteriously cancel my refills and never contacted my provider when a new prescription was required. Also impossible to talk to anyone in Walgreens stores. Endless hold times and then you’re disconnected. Glad I switched to CVS.”
“Stopped in looking for some bourbon while on a road trip. The selection was better than any other liquor store I checked. The customer service staff was exceptional. Definitely a go to place for your spirits.”
“Best pharmacy location ever in my whole life. Im 72. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, efficient. Always checking if i have questions or if my shots are up to date. Only pharmacy i go to. Just a joy to go to.”
“You can definitely see a change in the environment. Everyone is very happy, more than happy to help with anything you might need. The manager is very professional and you can tell he genuinely cares about every customer that walks in. The store is extremely clean and well stocked, they even have my order ready for me before I even walk in. Everything I could want in a convenience store! I'll definitely frequent here for a long time.”
“Everyone at the Mundelein Speedway work their hardest to make sure your experience is the best. Thank you to all our customers in 2022....here's to a great 2023!”
“This 7 eleven best of the best good store working 24 hours which is very nice and clean inside. I lost my wallet at pump and Kanny saw that moment and saved with all my documents and cash very friendly and conscientious person! I really appreciate him! God bless you! Good luck everyone and enjoy a visit to this store!”
“Stopped in for some vanilla ice cream on Thanksgiving evening. They had what I was looking for and all of the staff were very friendly, will definitely continue to shop here.”
“What a great place to stop off heading in or out of town. They have the best of so many things. Food is phenomenal for a quick stop gas station. The staff friendly.”
“(Translated by Google) I think it's a winery around the corner with groceries and. A lot of products(Original)Creo Que e s Una vinateria a la vuelta De esquina con abarrotes y. Muchos productos”
“Grabbed some cold beers, a bottle of vodka, and checkout was lightning fast. Prices don't hurt the wallet 😀 and the place stays clean, so it's easily 5 stars. Pull up, you won't regret it! 💯🍾”
“only had one bad experience they got mad at me for using mobile checkout and not asking them first but they always give me great deals and are very kind and polite”
“Nicest cleanest most modern 711 I've been too! Wish bathrooms were unlocked but oh well most convience stores lock their bathrooms cashier was friendly and informative too! Good job!”
“The Shell soft touch Wash Service resolved my issue. The wash is not owned by the Shell, but by a separate company. They compensated me for scratches that I believe occurred when I heard a clicking noise going through the reciprocating washer in June (vertical scratch marks every 2 feet along the top of my passenger side doors). The fastest path to resolution is to ask Billy (the Wash Manager) to give you the 1-800 number and leave a message. RESOLVED”
