“There are 2 long term employees that seem to be the pillar of our local Stewart's they seem to be there everyday and the best part of being a local is being remembered and they make me feel like I'm hometown I see them making customers laugh and they can get through a long line w the same kindness for everyone or they'll 6yhstop doing the behind the scenes work just to open a 2nd lane quick. I never feel like I'm being rushed or in the way I feel right at home when entering and exiting. 5 stars absolutely”

“Don't listen to the other incoherently rambling Yelp review bashing this place or its hardworking employees. (Who are saints for having to put up with entitled old codgers and cranky townies all day.) Stewart's is a regional treasure and this one is terrific. Having recently been rebuilt, it's better than ever. They even have a BEER CAVE now (AKA a large refrigerated room chock full of craft beer, domestics, imports, and local brews). Prices are reasonable and the convenient location can't be beat. Their cold brew iced coffee is delicious and absolutely crushes Starbucks or other "fancy" coffee shops. And get this: employees have equity in the company. How cool is that? Skip the rest stop and pull off Exit 29 instead.”

“The young lady who helped me with my photocopy order/FedEx return shipment around 1pm today 8/13 was really pleasant and helpful! Walgreens is a real easy place to get your return slips printed cheaply if you don't own a printer (or want to mess with ink or jams) Upload your label, pay the small printing fee of 30 cents, tape your newly printed label onto your box and leave it at the counter. So simple! Much faster and more courteous than other methods. 10/10. Will definitely utilize this amenity in the future. Thank you Walgreens Palatine Bridge!”
