“Even though we live in Little Falls, we're in St. Cloud often enough that Costco has become one of our regular stops. It's one of those places where you go in for a couple of things and somehow leave with a cart full of groceries, snacks, and something you didn't know you needed! 😄 The store is always clean, well-stocked, and the employees have been friendly and helpful whenever we've had a question. The prices and quality are hard to beat, especially for bulk items. And of course, no Costco trip feels complete without grabbing a hot dog or a slice of pizza before heading home. It's always a worthwhile stop when we're in town!”
“Only one complaint: The customers that drive in on the outside lane against the arrow. Sam's Club should install those retractable tire spikes, like they have on the exit of parking garages. Either that or, people caught doing it should receive life in prison! Otherwise, great prices on gas! Worth the wait if there is a line. Save 10¢ - 25¢ a gallon!”
“I have been getting my Pharmacy pills at Southside Pharmacy for a number of years. Doug is always so friendly and knowledgeable when I ask him questions about certain medication’s. The staff is also very friendly. I enjoy picking up my medication’s at Southside Pharmacy highly recommend.”
“They put $10 on my account for being a prior military member so of course I had to go shopping...lol Always end up with more than I started out for. They had the biggest watermelons. Can't wait to have some. It's always a great experience there.”
“Good prices. Since COVID, it's been very good being clean and well stocked. Having the pay a membership to shop at a store seems foolish (hence 4 stars). Update 7.2.23: Items that were common are are often not available. Very hit and miss. Update 10.8.23: Items are still hit and miss. Update 3.30.24: Item selection has improved to what it once was, however some common items are still absent. Update 10.13.24: Prices are better than most places however still expensive to the point we are not purchasing some items.”
“I have pharmacies closer to me but i bike further to this one because the staff are so good at their jobs. They are friendly and if they can do anything to help you, they will. Definitely recommend.”
“I am not a regular customer at this pharmacy, but I walked in and asked for a flu shot. The pharmacy looked pretty busy, but they got me in and out in less than 20 minutes. Great staff!”
“While packing in the evening before leaving for vacation I realized I was short on one of my medications. They were closed at this point. I called them as soon as they opened once I was at my destination and explained what happened. They explained the process for me transfer my medication to a pharmacy where I was staying and within 2 hours I had my medication!!! I appreciated the shift coordination with the other pharmacy, especially since it was my error. Since I have gone to Northway Pharmacy I have had exceptional service.”
“I have saved so much money on my dog’s prescriptions by getting them here. I wish I would have known I could get them there sooner, so I had to share. Staff is always efficient and helpful while doing it with a smile.”
“It feels weird to write a 5-star review for a service I don't use, and I don't write reviews often. Well, I used them once to pick up a prescription after an ER visit. But they don't take my insurance it turns out, so I'm back at my old pharmacy. But in my 2 times interacting with them, they have been genuinely, incredibly kind. The pharmacist took a good amount of time trying to find a loophole around my insurance so that my son's ER med was more affordable. When I came back later with a follow-up question, they answered it and I let them know that I would be going back to my old pharmacy due to insurance. The woman, who knew I wasn't a future customer, asked how my son was doing and said we could visit their pharmacy anytime to say hi or chat. Literally the nicest group of people. Going to the pharmacy isn't exactly fun for anyone involved, but the genuine care that comes from this group makes me want to go back.”
“We appreciate the money back at CostCo!!!The checks are a bit difficult for us , as we tend to forget about it by the time we reach the register. Living two hours away makes it difficult because our opportunities are few and far between. We were not in the know that we could use the check towards renewing our membership and had just done that. So, we were so elated when the " head cashier " offered to return an item and use our check to pay for said item. Phew !! Now we have no worries !! Thank you COSTCO !!Suggestion: think about having the money on an app, like TJMaxx. If you have this already, let the customer know when renewing membership THANK YOU COSTCO”
“My 9year old son who has autism got his first inhaler and was very overwhelmed and scared. The pharmacist was amazing with him, explained how it worked and walked him through using it. Even checked in the next day to see if he had any questions and how it was going. Thank you Willie”
“The pharmacy is located inside of the mental health center to the left of the main entrance. They deal with Medicaid (MA) and with Part D only with Medicare. The staff are helpful, but while waiting for new orders from the doctor you will go without”
“I have received excellent care and service from the pharmacy team. The turnaround timing for rx refills is quick and my pup appreciates the TLC as well. Great job, pharmacy staff. It is noticed and valued!”
“It's a Walmart. About what you'd expect. I will say it's a million times better than the Saint Cloud Walmart. OF the local Walmarts, it is five stars. But Walmart in general is three, it's just the least mediocre of the bunch in the area.”
“Thank you for you honesty and integrity, you picked up where St Cloud Toyota failed on our last tire escapade. You guys are always helpful and willing to take the time explaining things, never have been upsold by you guys”
“Awesome customer service at the pharmacy counter. I also did purchase some fruit. The customer service at the front register was very amazing and the lady that rang me up was very nice. I also stopped by the Starbucks inside, and the three amazing young women that work there were very patient very friendly, very kind. I was able to get my dragon fruit mango refresher drink with all food inclusions made with lemonade just how I liked. It was amazing. It was the best day out in a long time, even though I was just at the store. thank you for being kind.”
“No club membership required. Open to the public and separate entrance (not accessible) from the main club store. A good selection of traditional and microbrewed beers. IPA, and some stouts. Also various wine and hard liqueur selections. Bailey Irish Cream. Capt Morgan and a few flavored vodka.”
“The staff at the Sam's Club in Saint Cloud are very friendly and extremely helpful. The couple of times I've had things go wrong, everyone has been very kind and accommodating. This is a far better experience than I have ever had at Costco (I've shopped at ones in Goleta, CA and Maple Grove, MN), where there are next to no staff, everyone is very inattentive and nobody wants to help you whatsoever. A good example of this is the returns process at Sam's Club versus the one at Costco. It's true that Costco has a very generous return policy, but at the Costco in Maple Grove, the service representative at the counter tried to shame me for returning things by saying, "you know, you're just being wasteful; we're going to throw all of this away." At Sam's Club, they've always taken returns I bring, no questions asked. Of particular interest to the Saint Cloud Sam's Club are the Country Hearth bread products, which I haven't been able to find at the Maple Grove Sam's Club! It could be that those products are actually made in Saint Cloud, but either way, I'm extremely happy about it. One deficit is that they don't stock certain sodas that I can get at the Maple Grove Sam's Club, but you can't have everything you want at one location, after all. They often have amazing sales, with mark-downs that make already-low-prices even lower, saving somebody like me (who has a very tight budget) quite a bit of money. Sam's Club is part of Walmart's corporate machine, which is well-known for being sleazy. However, unlike Costco, they don't go out of their way to hide it. While Costco may pay their employees $15 an hour, they have the same garbage practices that Sam's Club and Walmart do in other ways; when Sam's Club and Walmart built their new stores in Saint Cloud, they tore down an eagle preservation site. And when Costco built their new store, they tore down Heritage Park, which also acted as a preservation site. I'd rather shop with the corporation that doesn't pretend that its excrement doesn't stink, thank you very much.”
“I left my meds down in the cities and was staying up in StCloud for 3 days...being there was a snowstorm and I didn't want to make the 4 hour (on a good day) Round trip, they were kind enough to get me enough to last the 3 days. VERY MINIMAL CHARGE, too!”
“The manager is literally the nicest woman I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I don't know why she's working in a CVS when she's probably already been beatified. Seriously. She is ridiculously sweet.”
“I visited this location to get my Tdap injection and had a wonderful experience. The Nurse Practitioner(Philip Knese) was incredibly professional, kind, friendly and efficient.He made the whole process quick and painless. I Highly recommend this clinic for great care.”
“Walgreens on 25th ave and division in St Cloud MN is awesome. I had to restart my process 4 times. Shanya in the photo department made me feel valued and appreciated trying to get help with photos for my husband's funeral. With patience and a box of kleenex we made it through.”
