In Ames, I notice the Hy-Vee brand in several places. There are 2 grocery stores at opposite ends…read moreof the Lincoln Highway, and associated Liquor Stores and Gasoline Stations. There's also this Drug Store, which looks to be part of a yet-to-be realized development initiative at and around the old Train Station. Gayle was at a Salon at the Train Station getting her nails done. After all, my fabulous wife must mind the beauty details! However, with the Iowa humidity, she would probably go for shorter hair if we actually lived here. Since this takes time, I decided to walk down Main Street and look around. After walking around the Train Station and admiring the architecture (and the safety fence near the tracks), I first wandered into Hy-Vee Drugstore and for some air conditioned relief. This place is a lot larger than it looks from the outside. They have a nice selection of the usual stuff, plus gifts and wine/beer. I ended up buying a padded wine holder to later (and successfully) take back a bottle of Templeton Rye Whiskey back to Iowa. I'll probably be back the next time I'm in town for any travel-related supplies or to just kill a little time.

I get my prescriptions at Hy-Vee Drugtown. I like that the lines are shorter here. I am sensitive…read moreto medication changes and they will make sure I stay on the same generic which I appreciate. I can get every vitamin here and expert help from the pharmacists on which to choose. I mean, this is not life changing but I can avoid the lines at other places and receive decent service.

Wow! What happened? Haven't been over here in a while. The store is a bit of a disaster. There's…read moretrash in the parking lot and looks like piles of old clothes and empty cans and food products left in and around the parking lot. The interior of the store, unfortunately doesn't fare any better. I was genuinely surprised to find trash strewn in the aisles. Even the floor of the pharmacy wasn't that clean. This place really needs a bit of a scrub! Discarded food products, and filthy refrigerator shelves question me whether I would buy from this location moving forward. Shelves were not very organized and disorganization did not extend to restocking inventory. While the store is now a 24 seven operation, the pharmacy does have limited hours including a complete shut down at midday for lunch for the entire staff. Hope that the store gets cleaned up a bit because I had always enjoyed coming in here and now I'm not sure if I'm coming back. All I have to say - Yikes!

Not only is this the worst Walgreens I've ever been to, but its the worst pharmacy. I waited in the…read morecar for an hour while my partner was inside trying to get his two medications. There was only one other person in line ahead of him and persion in front of him did not understand any of the terminology the pharmacy tech was trying to tell him. No one else came to help out the lone pharmacy tech until an hour later. When my partner got back to the chair, he told me that Walgreens only had 1 of the 2 medications that he needed.
