As I'm sure many people in the Shores are already aware of, this brand spankin' new Walgreens is a…read morefantastic place to stop and do some quick shopping, get some photos developed, or pick up your prescriptions or medicine.
This Walgreens is located in the Food Lion shopping center which was recently built on the corner of US1 and Shores Blvd... I wasn't sure at the need for another drug store here, seeing as there's a CVS about 500 feet down the road, but man, is this place nice.
I was headed south for a weekend getaway, and needed an energy drink and a few last minute personal items, so I decided to swing in and see what this place looks like. First off- brand new. Everything is clean, immaculate, and this store was well-stocked and very well organized.
Upon walking into the store, I was greeted by an employee, who not only welcomed me to the store, but asked if I needed help finding anything, and then handed a coupon book filled with tons of coupons for stuff all over the store. You're not gonna find that at other places like this.
Now granted, it is a chain drug store, so it's going to be the same stuff that you can find at any other Walgreens, CVS, etc... Mostly make-up, OTC medicines, a pharmacy, photo lab, but also snacks, drinks, beer, greeting cards... you get the picture. It's going to be a lot more than you'd pay by going to a department store, but sometimes location is key.
Overall, very impressed with this place. The staff was incredible, from the greeter to the lady at the checkout, very polite and courteous, answering questions, and more than helpful. The store was clean, well-stocked, and well-organized. The pharmacy area was wide open, with a few pharmacists available to fill prescriptions... Only thing keeping this from five stars is the prices of the products, but hey, not a bad place to stop and pick up some swag.
