“If you want a low key hidden gem for a sub, this is the place to go. 3 of these subs for the party sub option was plenty enough. Packed full of meat and toppings. Good 5 lb sandwich well worth it.”

“Berea Beverage is my favorite, friendly neighborhood swill joint. Wide selection of great beers, at prices consistent with or lower than many other local establishments. Eventually you become a well-known regular. Which umm... your vices for Lottery or cigarettes are as bad as my penchant for fine craft beers and IPAs. Recently I was on a months-long stint of Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPS, at 7.3 abv I believe. Bout $10.09 six pack. Recently I switched to Rhinegeist Truth IPA, bout $10.90 after tax for a six pack of cans. Bottoms up!”

“I usually stop in 1-2 times a week for Monster Energy Drinks. The staff is accurate and friendly. The manager on duty during the morning is on top of everything. She's cleaning, wiping and spraying things down and making sure the staff is doing an amazing job, which they always are. The crew is only great with the leadership of their managers. This particular location is great. Great access to the freeway too.”

“Newer employee has made all the difference. I have been going to this place past 5yrs. I get coffee every morning on my route. I used to hate going in there as there was an older lady that was miserable to people. (Thankfully, shes gone). There is this newer employee named Kalina. While everyone is nice, I see her all the time interacting with everyone, even customers that are challenging. She just makes you feel like you are important. (Again, the others are good too, just that her style stands out). Honestly, it's not a 5 star location, yet she makes it a 5 star experience. The type of customer service where she should be running one of your stations. (Based only on how she genuinely interacts with people).”

“I love this place!!! Mary's is what we call it! You have to try their ice cream sandwich as well as their cones. They are huge and amazing. Our 7 year old asks to go there all the time, especially since Mary always gives him a pretzel rod. They are so lovely and sweet. It has such a homey feeling”

“Having had not luck, from a customer support perspective, from Staples or Office Max I came to this Walgreens to get business cards printed. Right out the gate Alexis in the print department couldn’t wait to help me! She guided me through the tech process of uploading and formatting my design to the actual printing. In all, I had my 200 reasonable quality business card in under an hour! Great customer service. I would be remiss if I also didn’t recognize Liz who was at the main entrance and had the best welcoming smile to all who entered.”

“Renee in the pharmacy went to great length to try and find what I was looking for. It was very evident she is the star in that department and store. Keep up that great work Renee!”
