“It's been a year if not more since I've been to a wawa, there is more baked goods, breakfast options, snacks, drinks than ever, wow! There were strawberry refresher samples, really good. Ordered an iced matcha drink, young lady who made my drink did a perfect job and was friendly, it was around 2PM on Feb 18th. You are appreciated!! Also got a quesadilla and cheddar brocc soup, really good.”
“My review is focused on the pharmacy at this CVS. The store staff are friendly and the store is clean and well-organized, but I mainly go to CVS for medications... not the rest of the store. The pharmacy staff works hard and is friendly, but what makes this pharmacy special is Batool! Ms. Batool is BY FAR the best Pharmacy Manager we have EVER worked with. She is caring, compassionate, friendly, and makes her customers feel seen/heard. She takes the time to get to know people, while also keeping the line moving quickly and effectively... it's impressive. So much so, that when our kids have special events (like school dances), we either stop by on our way or at least share pictures with her; at our kids request!!! Again, she has a way of making people feel special while still doing the core job of the pharmacy. For the several months she was at a different location, it was noticeable. I would drive out of our way to use this pharmacy!”
