“I recently moved to Michigan, however, Uni-mart was hands down my favorite place to shop for some quick goods. I already miss it, the employees are very kind, prices are on the cheaper side. I hope they get much more business.”
“Hannah is a literal blessing. I stopped in on a Monday morning after an 18 hour shift and explained the situation and that I still had an hour drive ahead of me and asked if I could nap in the corner of the lot. She not only enthusiastically encouraged me to do so but thanked me profusely for my consideration for the safety of both myself and other drivers. If that alone doesn't qualify her for employee of the month i have no idea what would. Thank you, Hannah!”
“This pharmacy may have literally saved my husband's life the other night. We had just returned to Pittsburgh from Utah with a traveling nurse assisting my husband. My husband had just been released from a hospital in Utah that morning. We had traveled all day. The hospital doctors did not give my husband any meds to go home with that day. Something about Utah law. I had four scripts that needed filled that night. They were very important meds that he needed to take that evening. I came into the store in a panic knowing the pharmacy was about to close. The pharmacy tech listened to my concerns and took a look at the scripts. She assured me that they would be filled that night. Sure enough within a half hour all four scripts were filled. The tech even asked me before ringing up one of the meds if I realized how much one of the meds would cost to make sure I had enough money for the meds. There were 3 people working in the pharmacy that evening. I will be forever grateful for the professionalism and curtesy was given upon my visit to this pharmacy. Great Staff. Outstanding service.”
