“Was a good visit, but it was during the day. They claim this store is open 24 hrs, this is rarely the case! I get off work around 2am and when I try to stop by the doors are locked more often than not, sometimes someone is even inside? Others not. If you don't have the staff, DON'T advertise being open 24 hrs! :( I would think they would want to be open as nothing else in the area is? It is VERY frustrating to find the doors locked! The parking lot is also very dirty, lots of trash on the ground, and overflowing cans by the pumps, lately there have been a bunch of shopping carts from other places left there, a VERY bad look!”

“Jon was so patient and helpful today waiting on three of us that needed help. I was overcharged on items I had bought the day before. One item that I went to pickup was supposed to be 3.99 online and price marked on shelf. I was charged 5.99. Walgreens always hires the best employees. My experience even before covid is that sticker price on shelf doesn't match up with the price rung up. Anyway the manager quickly gave me my refund. From now on I will check the price on receipt before I leave.”

“I usually go to this location because they seem to be better stocked than the one near my home. The associates know me and my little dog, Roy, and is always very kind and welcoming. I didn't get their names.”

“SHOUTOUT TO ELLEN AND SHAY!!! I broke my glasses this morning and had to buy a repair kit. Not only did they let me fix my glasses at the counter but I also needed pliers to bend the glasses back and shape and they went searching in back and found some. Saved my day and my wallet! 10/10 customer service”
