“I'm so happy to have them here. This is like a throwback to the old five and dime stores. They literally have everything a neighborhood store should have and the employees couldn't be nicer.”

“This CVS is by far the best I've visited. The pharmacists and techs are on top of it- so much so, they know me by name now. It honestly feels like a family owned pharmacy more than a large chain. They are patient, kind, understanding, and explain medication side effects and interactions with other prescriptions. If I ever have questions, they're quick to answer them and if they're away, they call me back quickly with a reply. I would highly recommend this CVS!”

“Small convenience store packed with great stuff. Their fresh sandwiches are better than subway in my opinion, nothing beats a fresh deli sandwich. Everyone is super friendly and they know their customers. Stop in and grab a quick bite or your favorite drink! Or if your feeling lucky grab a scratch off or lottery ticket”

“I wish they were back to 24/7 and when they had competitive gas prices. I used to drive out of the way to come here for the cheaper gas, but now they're the same as everywhere else. They still have the $4 car wash that includes free vacuuming, and the vacuums are incredibly strong (too strong, honestly).”

“I lost my rear windshield wiper, assumingly in the car wash. (It’s a newer car for me, I was unaware the rear wiper was set to auto-whatever. I’m just a girl ?♀️ ) I mentioned it to the newer manager, and he told me he would check to see if it was there. I completely forgot about it, and weeks went by. When I came back for another car wash, the same manager approached me and asked about my rear wiper. He was incredibly nice and even offered to install the new one for me when I got it, whether I had actually lost it there or not. That was some of the best customer service I’ve seen in a while. The fact that he remembered me and brought it up without me saying anything really stood out. I rarely have a bad experience here, so I’m honestly not sure what some of the other reviews are about.”
4001 Main St, Skokie IL 60076
“After years of going to a Walgreens pharmacy, my insurance switched me to CVS. I have been delighted by the service here. They are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I didn’t know going to a pharmacy could be a good experience, but this has been exactly that!”

“Skokie Mart is more than a grocery store; it's a vibrant hub for culinary exploration and cultural connection. A store is organized and easy to navigate with clear signage that finding what you need easily. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and specialty of many items in just a very affordable price. Highly recommended!”

We were in a tremendous rush to try to get something printed for an event, I called almost right when they opened to ask for help, and she was able to print our poster quickly and essentially saved the day.

“It's a gas station, there's not a ton to comment on other than the fact that the prices here are pretty decent and reflect others in the area. There is a good selection of snacks and drinks, lottery tickets. The folks behind the counter are always friendly and helpful.”

“Lot of options, staff is friendly, clean store and bathrooms. They have hot sandwiches usually and roller grill items, plus Wisconsin cheese curds/sticks, Lotto vending machine inside, plenty of pumps outside. Despite the traffic around Dempster/McCormick it isn't too bad getting in and out of there.”
