I have always felt that it is important to shop local and support independent restaurants. It is…read moreeven more important to support independent pharmacies. Over the last 3 decades massive chains such as Walgreens, CVS and Walmart have been on a rampage of forcing mom and pop business to close or buying them up and shutting their doors. This past month, I pulled the trigger and moved all my Rx's to Phillips Family Pharmacy inside of Red X in Riverside. There is probably 6 other chain pharmacies closer to my house but I knew I had to put my money where my mouth was and do the right thing. Three of my Rx's surprisingly were lower in cost than the Hy-Vee I was using; and the 4th jumped from $30 to $50. After letting the Pharmacist know of the large increase she went on line, found a coupon and applied it, decreasing the cost to $10!! So for what I was paying $50 a month, I'm now paying about $22. Something that the well meaning but overworked pharmacists at the chains would never have the time or desire to assist with. Don't even get me started with the mail order pharmacies... Great service, Great pricing and helping to keep the American Dream alive one independent business at a time.

I was puzzled as I only received partial prescription yet my insurance was billed for entire amount (they were paid for full script but only dispensed partial, and refused to fill rest). Just watch closely. Will probably get backlash for this post but if it saves anyone the pain I'm suffering cause will not have my medication then a small price to pay.

The side items like the macaroni bites, pizza rolls, jalapeño poppers, and wontons are all good and…read morereasonably priced for what they are. The hot dogs are high quality (Nathan's) and the pizza is also good. The burgers are kind of meh. Not horrible but not noticeably better than the fast food joints in the area. The breakfast menu items I've tried such as their sandwiches, bowls, and biscuits and gravy have all been very good. Overall I would say the food is better tasting and a better bargain than most everything the fast food chains in the vicinity are serving. I say that with one caveat though. You need to download the Fast & Fresh app order carryout so it's hot and fresh. If you choose to go for what's already available in the warmer the quality of the food may vary depending on how long its been sitting.

The employees are always friendly and helpful. The gas prices are comparable to other gas stations nearby. If you shop at HyVee you can use your fuel points to get $ off gas which is handy. And they will come out and pump your gas for you if you require help, which is extremely helpful for those who need extra assistance. If you are interested in specialty drinks and food they also connect with Caribou coffee. They offer a drive thru as well for items in Caribou.

At Albers, they quickly transferred over my prescriptions from that other place, and had them filled almost before I knew it! Very friendly and efficient- I look forward to giving them all of my pharmacy business from now on. The location may be a little hard to find, but that is the only negative. This is the type of pharmacy that you want to use when you have chronic health issues that require knowledgable pharmacy staff, as well as doctors. Update 5/2013: Albers now has a total of three locations. Also, I reiterate my praise for all of the staff, not just the Pharm.D.'s - they truly have an operation that runs as smoothly as any in town, and better than most. Extremely helpful, and I believe that they can be competitive on price if you are without insurance. Specifics on that would be inappropriate; however an inquiry can be worth your time!

A&R has been filing a specialty medication for my Labrador Retriever since November of last year. Today I had to leave work and was in a bit of a pinch for time, so I called ahead to have my prescription waiting up front for pick up. The staff waited for me to pull in the parking lot, then brought my prescription out to my vehicle, so I could get back to work as quickly as possible. Exceptional customer service such as this is unheard of in today's times! I cannot explain how wonderful this pharmacy is, and I highly recommend them!!

They have to know this is going to irritate some people, that aren't able to get there early enough before the freebie runs out. When I found out, that they were out of the freebie item, I brought my grocery cart up to the customer service and let them put everything back. They never apologized, they just said, too bad. I'm not sure if anyone really reads these, because there doesn't seem to be any changes.

The staff are always super friendly. They have a deli, a little hot bar area, sushi, bakery, floral, meat counter, and even an urgent care. The prices are in line or lower than other stores (At least in 2024 terms). I realize it's a grocery store and there's only so much you can review but I have a couple of good examples that show the excellence of the employees. 1. I was in the produce section and had some lettuce in my cart. One of the produce associates saw it and asked if I wanted that particular type of lettuce. He explained that it was starting to rust and that he could grab me some fresher heads. He went to the back, found me in the store, and swapped out my lettuce. Super above and beyond. 2. I was walking out of the store with my purchase and a bottle of wine I bought fell out of the bag and fell onto the ground outside. It was totally my fault. I put it in there and didn't do a great job-clearly. An associate was outside and went to grab some stuff to clean up the glass. When she came back outside, she instructed me to go to customer service so that they could get me another bottle. They didn't charge me for the replacement. Again, it was my mistake and they didn't have to do that at all. If you live in the area, definitely check them out.

Staff seem to be ever changing but they are always very nice to interact with...I have noticed they are outside smoking frequently together and putting away deliveries together. This probably is a great teamwork approach and builds team rapport. This however frequently seems to cause customers to wait for a cashier to checkout the customer. There is a self checkout but it's almost always out of order or they do not have it turned on and operating. I love the deals on the app and the ability to order ahead would be nice but this location frequently has this option shutoff.
