“Usually has good chewy pellet ice for fountain drinks but this time they had cube ice. We were told it was temporary because the machine was broken. Fountain drink area is small and cramped but has good selection. The fountain has "flavor shots" to add to your drink for free. They have a frozen drink machine with Ski. Derby lemonade, sweet tea, unsweetened tea, and sweetened raspberry tea is made there. Some coffee drinks are available. Large selection of snacks and bottled drinks available. They sell beer. I saw Bud, Miller, Goose Island, Coors, and a variety of other brands. There is a usually-sparse roller grill and donuts. They have nachos and cheese. Cashiers are friendly. Edit November, 2017: A clerk at this store informed me their Derby Lemonade is seasonal and will be back at a future date. They still have sweetened, unsweetened, and sweetened raspberry iced Derby tea.”

“Ever since I've been using cvs the employee here has been helpful and very friendly with everything that I needed. I've been trying to get my prescription to get better since I was a covid patient at the hospital since 2/5 I just got out of the hospital last Friday. I've been trying to get this prescription approved since my insurance doesn't cover it at all. I've been calling the pharmacy and talking to pretty much all the pharmacist especially Ms Dana who has patience to check the approval for me so many times every time I called. Now that I finally got my medicine that I needed to avoid blood cloth. I really appreciated you all. What a life saver!!!!!”
