“We've been in this neighborhood for over 30 years and we've been coming here the last 20 years . People are always friendly and ready to help. Very professional and always very helpful. I wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“Love this convenient store. The workers/owners are very friendly and appreciative. Snacks, beverages, and lottery plus service with a smile. They will always have my business.”

“Solid Filipino mart with good traditional food options. The owners were nice, and the place has that clutter core vibe but like the OG version of that--know what I mean?”

“Also known as SNK gas station. Best gas prices ever they never fluctuate every 5 minutes like all together gas stations do. Very friendly and professional people. ?”

“This Walgreens is on the way home from work. They have great sales and it is easy to get to. I can usually pull in from the Shell gas station across the street and do my shopping before hitting the office. They have great sales and the staff is pretty friendly. Very good at giving rain checks as it seems to be a current thing for them to be out of stuff on sale. For me that is an indication that they have good stock rotation. I will say that shopping here requires a little patience since the majority of the folks that shop here are older and are not in a hurry to pay and want to chat. There is a big parking lot, but don't get any ideas about parking there to walk over to the Subway, El Burrito or the wine store. There is a big sign that claims Lincoln Towing will get you. I have no idea if they travel as far as The Parks of Melrose & Franklin, but man I know how they operate in Chicago, so I wouldn't risk it. Unlike the folks who shop at this Walgreens, Lincoln is fast and gone just like that.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Carmela and her pharmacy staff. I had recently been dischaged from the hosiptal and had 11 scripts sent to this Walgreens (the River Grove one could never handletwo let alone 11). My text notifications came in and I was 7 for 11. When I went in to pick up and explained the predicament I was in, she right away got three more done for me but could not do the 11th because they simply had none. If there was ever a time to request extra consideratrion and for someone to come through, this was it and it was done without complaint or delay. This is the second great review of Carmela and her staff for the pharmacy that is further away from my house than the one which would be entirely more convenient yet, in the same company. Thanks everyone!!!”

“High quality gas station, walked here so I didn’t need the car wash, but it’s an option. Has lots of option for foods, drinks, and other items. The gas is a bit expensive though. The employee was cool, ringed my stuff up fast.”
9601 West Grand Avenue, Franklin Park IL 60131
“I stop here quite a bit because it's near work. Probably the least run down of the small local gas stations. Majority of the staff is friendly. Would get 5 stars if it wasn't randomly closed in the early morning hours”

“Props to Thortons and the store manager here, Erik, the store is clean and all stocked with the friendly customer service that makes something as annoying as pumping gas not as exhausting. It was quick, clean and friendly and a 20/10 experience! All I got was a monster and a muffin and the customer service was so nice I went back 4 chips!”
