I've never been a huge fan of Walgreens, as I usually find it to be a boring store. However, I like…read morethis particular location. I've been coming in here for quite a long time.
The employees are what really make this store great. Everyone is so sweet and helpful when you need it. I've never had a bad experience in here when I need to ask an employee for any help. The cashiers are always smiling. They greet you when you walk in, welcoming you into the store. Sometimes I think that's a little silly, as I'm usually on a mission when I come in, so I don't pay much attention, but it is kind of nice too. They do this survey thing at the end of every receipt, asking you to fill it out and writing their name on it. The one annoying thing about this is that it is time consuming. They print the receipt, circle the survey, write their name on it, followed by a speech about filling it out. I get it and I can see why they do it, but at the same time, if I'm in a hurry, I don't really care about hearing about it. But that is my only big complaint with that. Otherwise, I love the employees in this store.
The selection of products in this store doesn't seem to vary any from the other Walgreens locations, but if you watch the ads, you can find some great stuff on sale. Another thing I love is the Oregon Duck gear they carry around fall for football season. I've picked up several great hoodies for the family, and they weren't ridiculously expensive. In the cosmetic section, I've found my favorite face wash, which is a bit more expensive than most stores. But, I know they carry it, so if I can't find it anywhere else, I'll pay the extra cost and pick it up here.
They also sell cigarettes and some alcohol, as well as frozen dinners and fresh dairy products. I have never bought any of these items, but I do notice them in here. I don't really buy food items in here, as they don't carry the brands I like. If they did, I would certainly consider it. Cigarettes are cheaper if you buy more than one pack. Seems like they overprice single packs, therefore encouraging you to buy more than one to bring it down to a reasonable price.
Would I return? Yes, I would. I've been coming to this store for quite a while, and I have no reason not to return. It is a bit more expensive than Wal-Mart or other grocery/pharmacy store. but it's smaller, great employees, and less painful, no long lines. Sometimes being smaller with less lines and people is worth the added cost of shopping here.
