“Best hero around. I have been coming here since I was a teenager! Moved out of NYC and was pleased to still see them here under the same ownership. Family owned business opens 24hrs a day except Mondays I believe. I always get a hero with ham,American cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo but they will make the sandwich you want and how you want it.”

“went there for about two years on a weekly basis to pick up my online orders. most of the times, it is fine, wait is between 2 mins (at night) to 10 mins. but sometimes it got really frustrated. for example, one time i lined up, the store manager Daniel told me if i got online order, i could go to any available counter without waiting on line, which make sense because the other Walgreens, which located @ 8420 Broadway got a counter for photo and online order only. But when i tried to go to the counter next time, a staff told me i should line up, i told her Daniel told me it is not necessary, then the staff asked Daniel, and Daniel denied that he said that. Why would i make this shit up? I have no problem lining up for 10 mins. I guess he just likes to say things depend on his mode for the day, as in he got double personalities. Overall he is fine, i don't have big problem with him. another time, someone mixed up my order, all they needed to do, is to exchange for the items i purchased and took the items I did not pay for back to the shelf. a female manager/ or a senior staff gave me a hard time. she alleged that the bar code did not match, she needed to find out who messed up the order, the price did not match, and she could not find the order blah blah blah. i just wanted the items i purchased, and i did not want anyone to take blame for it. we are human, it is ok to make mistake. i asked her if she wanted to take a look at my phone for my order, she raised her voice and said no, my husband stepped it to tell her to lower her voice. after 5 mins, she finally gave me the correct items, which were the exact same items i brought to the counter and told them to exchange, and she could not find my order from her list and had to look at my phone. whatever, this store is still ok to go to, most staffs are fine, couple are more knowledgeable than others ( the Asian/Hispanic looking guy with curling hair about 5'10 tall and big, and another Hispanic looking woman with brown hair about 5'4 tall, i think they work at night, and they are really know what to do and nice.) The store hire a security guard to make it safer (I really do not want to see any staff in there got hurt by homeless). got enough items, not a lot though, enough. enough lighting. i hope they can restock faster.”

“I remembered coming here only once to buy lotion with my mom. The store is similar to any other Walgreens. The place is quite convenient to the neighborhood as it has a train station a few feet away.”

“Been a customer for around 13 years, and always had good experiences. It's time to highlight Mr. Raymond, who is very helpful and knowledgeable, which translates into efficiency and saved time. In the past, when my son's medicine was not available and was in short supply, the team would look for it in other branches, and if not found they helped me contact their competitors until it was found. I highly recommend the team at this CVS location within Target.”

“Pharmacy, grocery store, beauty supply store, all in one. Get a Walgreens Card, it’s free and you can get points for shopping that you can use to save money later. If you are in the mood for Fuska, there will be at least one Fuska cart right outside of this store. Staff speak multiple language, I’m confident that some Bangladeshi was spoken here.”

“My cashier Radha is someone me and my family have known for many years now because we remember her from another location in Flushing that closed down. She has always been very kind and always with a smile on her face so it’s always a pleasure when I see her in the store.”
