“Lisa who worked in photos was so kind and patient and helped me figure out how to make copies of something when I was struggling. She made me feel like what I was doing was extremely important to her with the best attitude and professional on top of that. You are a very lucky to have someone like that working in your store.”

“I work near this gas station (it's the closes one to my office) however it can be somewhat difficult to pull out since it's on the corner of Mission Rd & 95th but, it's not too bad unless it's rush hour (& if it's rush hour EVERYWHERE is hard to get back out on the road). I decided to review this gas station because~this week on my way to the office I realize my husband has left my car on low fuel (AGAIN) but, I had enough to get to work & to this Minit Mart at lunch. I pull up to the pump & open my wallet only to find that my teenage daughter forgot to give me my debit card back & my husband has "borrowed" my credit card & didn't put it back whn finished with it (AGAIN). Now I'm almost out of gas with no way to pay. I remember I have a kickback card with a lot of points on them so I go in & explain to the very friendly cashier who can't get my points to go through (due to the whole area having internet probs-including our office) so now I'm panicking a little because I have a patient scheduled in one hour. I thanked the cashier for all her time & effort & told her "thanks so so much but I'll figure something out" (as there's now 3-4 customers behind me) & she stops me & tells me to put $10 in. I told her I couldn't do that but how incredibly nice that was of her to offer but she didn't give up & repeatedly told me to "pls just put $10 in. It's ok". Now I'm super embarrassed & want to run out of there but I DO have patients scheduled so I finally tell her I will & thanked her so much. (Me declining was only prolonging the situation & now other customers are offering to help me pay for gas. Omg I was mortified for some reason). I IMMEDIATELY called my husband (who's already going to pay dearly when I get home) & insist that he drive all the way to this Minit Mart RIGHT NOW-I didn't know what time she got off & didn't want to miss her or leave $ with someone else. She's not the owner & it's obvious she herself was paying for my gas. Needless to say, my husband obliged IMMEDIATELY (probably due to a feeling of impending doom.....I was going to kill him when I got home) but he got the $10 back to her & brought me my credit card. Point being~this location has always had the nicest cashiers. In the grand scheme of day to day life, the "niceness level of cashiers" probably isn't high on the priority list but, this experience educated me on how amazing some employees are. She went WAY above & beyond & all the other cashiers at this location have been so nice & efficient. People often get in the habit of complaining when something goes wrong (& rightly so) yet when good/above average service is received, often we forget to commend those who do provide good service. Sometimes people (myself included) take for granted how important the "niceness level" of someone might be. I DEFINITELY would've been late for my afternoon patients so her decision to help me out ended up helping so many other people. She acted like it was no big deal but, many people wouldn't have done that. Kudos to this Minit Mart but, above all kudos to the awesome cashier that saved my day (& the life of my husband)!!!!”

“The carwash was rebuilt recently and the owners reportedly spent nearly $600k on it. I buy the highest-level wash in batches of three which ends up being buy two get one free. Not a bad deal. The laser light show could send someone into an epileptic seizure and is kind of annoying on subsequent visits. The first time I went I listened to the ridiculous music and enjoyed the show, but by now it's getting a bit old. I wish there was an option to disable the "show" before entering. Oh well, I'll tolerate it because the wash job is awesome and even does a great job of getting brake dust off the wheels. I see the Leawood and PV cops drive through with all their exterior lights and stuff on the cars and they don't seem to get mulched up, but I don't know if I'd recommend entering with a bunch of exterior modifications.”

“I've had good & bad experiences at their location on State Line, but my experience at this location the other day was just great. $9 for a drive-thru wash is on the pricier side, but they do hand dry it for you- nice bonus. The staff was very nice and welcoming, smiling as they worked- love to see that!”

“CVS Team members in the pharmacy really care about their customers. I have gone to this CVS in Leawood, Kansas for 30 years and know the pharmacists and their team to be professional and helpful. They go the extra mile to make sure you are assisted in a timely manner and understand your medications. I have a Walgreens that is across the street from my house. I will not go there due to the quality of their employees and bogus points they give you that are never redeemable. They have a lower stock of items than CVS and they have huge turnover. As a past business executive that is so important and it makes a difference. Dara Nielsen-Bock”

“I had a decent experience at CVS Pharmacy. The staff and cashier were welcoming and courteous. I visited on a weekday with a friend to help him purchase a blood sugar testing kit and some multivitamins. They had a good selection, and there was a Buy 1 Get 1 offer on the multivitamins, which was a nice bonus. Overall, the store offers a decent variety of products across their inventory.”
