The location is pretty nice and they will usually have the thing you are looking for The staff here are nice and will sometimes help you if you are looking for something in particular, but it is nothing to write home about. The only downsides to this place would be the occasional begger asking you to buy something. An experience I had was when I walked into the CVS. A guy was asking people for a simple soap. Being a good person, i purchased a nice soap for 3 bucks and gave it to him before I paidfor the rest of my stuff. Low and behold, he was very displeased and creepily looked at me through the glass and began following me when I left. Luckily I outran im. This place is usually fine and you will typically have a good experience.

    Reviewing a pharmacy, sort of a pointless endeavor. It's not like a barber, where the reviews will…read moreinfluence whether you go there or somewhere else. If you need medicine, you have to go. So why give this CVS in West Philly a 4-star review? To be completely honest, there's very little standout about this CVS location. To earn a 3-star in this business, you need to have prescriptions ready, a competent staff, and no uncontrolled fires. In other words, most of the pharmacies in Center City Philadelphia deserve a 2-star review at best. Downtown, the staff's too busy halting thieves, breaking up fights, and cleaning up the perpetual mess to actually help anyone. By virtue of this CVS being away from the madness of Market Street, and the exceptional kindness of one or two of its pharmacists, I am happy to give this place a 4-star review. Compared to the other options, it soars.

    Giving CVS a bad review is pointless but here I am anyway. I've been to a great deal of other CVS…read morelocations that were much better. What really irritates me about this pharmacy is they are closed random times. They say they are closed the same time every day for lunch (which that alone is stupid...why can't they stagger their lunch schedules so they remain open the entire business day) I've been here at 1 pm and they were closed for lunch, and I've been here as late as 2:45 pm and they were still closed for lunch. They need to be more consistent. They are also closed random times because they claim their system is down. This happens so much I question if it's really true. The technicians seem to be standing around, talking on their phones, laughing and joking with one another, and not focusing on serving customers. Why they need 7 technicians (I counted) all standing around doing nothing at the same time boils down to one thing - poor management. I've worked in pharmacies. You don't need that many people behind the counter if everyone is doing their job, so something is obviously wrong. Recently, I had medications to pick up but I was very ill and had no one to get them for me. Their delivery is very expensive and takes forever, I've tried it. I realize they can't hold prescriptions forever and knew they would restock them. However, when I called to ask them to refill them, first they told me they wouldn't because I didn't pick them up the last time, so they would not fill them again, and they hung up on me. Then I called back to try and ask again if they would please refill them and I was told by another person that they were in fact refilling them, so the first person lied. I realize I was rude at that point but I was frustrated. Why can't you just refill prescriptions? Why do you have to punish me because I was unable to pick them up due to being sick? Instead, I was lectured on the phone and was told I was too old to be acting this way. Like I said, I realize I was not the easiest to talk to at that point but if they had just said they would refill them the first time and not given me a bunch of garbage (plus hanging up on me) I wouldn't have gotten frustrated to begin with. Their staff needs some serious training in customer service, and managerial skills to keep themselves open for all normal business hours. Yes, working in a pharmacy is not easy, but if you can't handle dealing with sick people who are frustrated because they can't get their medication maybe you should do something else. Unfortunately, what can you expect. Most of these technicians are uneducated, and work more barely over minimum wage. I actually am probably expecting too much out of them.

I used to go to the CVS (literally across the street from Aspire since they moved to Locust Street) and have never had a problem waiting in line with people buying groceries, toiletries, and birthday cards before getting my prescription and heading home. At CVS 15 minutes is the minimum wait time. My only misgiving about the new pharmacy is that it opens M-F at 9am closes at 6pm (3pm on Thursdays?), closed on the weekend, and also this winter has been closed on a couple heavy snow days. The business hours at the CVS at a bit better (8am-8pm) if you're leaving for work earlier than 9am or coming home later than 6pm. I'm hoping Aspire has longer hours or operation in the future. i can make due with their hours now, just not as easily as with CVS. The prices for the generic drugs I get at Aspire are bout the same as CVS with the prescription drug coverage, so there isn't any major distinction there, but it may also be different pricing for different types of drugs or pharmacy coverage options on health insurance plans. I'd be curious to hear what others have noticed about Rx drug prices in general from pharmacy to pharmacy. I like that Aspire, as a fledgling business and mom-and-pop shop amongst giant national pharmacies (read: CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen's, etc.), is creating a local drug store that relies on local customers to support it. I like that my local pharmacist running her own business is taking care of University City/West Philly customers and not corporate executives in a distant office who will never see me or get to know me.

I grew up visiting Target in the suburbs, so discovering this location in Philadelphia immediately felt familiar. It maintains the brand's accessibility and comfort while smartly adapting to city life. The store is consistently clean, bright, organized, and well-stocked. The staff is friendly and helpful, the grocery selection is genuinely fresh, and the overall experience feels thoughtful and efficient. What Target does especially well is discernment. The product mix feels curated rather than crowded, with a smart balance of affordability, quality, and style across groceries, home goods, essentials, and private-label products. Their app also stands out, particularly the real-time inventory tools that make pickup and delivery seamless. More broadly, Target is one of the few major retailers that has preserved the strengths of brick-and-mortar shopping while still evolving for modern life. I suspect part of that comes from the company's Minnesota roots and the strong Scandinavian influence embedded in the culture there. You can feel it in the stores: clean layouts, restrained design, thoughtful presentation, efficiency paired with warmth, and an emphasis on functionality without sacrificing quality. It stands apart from most big-box retail in America. The Chestnut Street location embodies that philosophy perfectly. Similar to what brands like Barnes & Noble and Bloomingdale's have done with their urban stores, Target has adapted away from oversized suburban formats in certain city environments without sacrificing the core experience. The nearby location by the Barnes Foundation is excellent as well. It's larger than the Chestnut Street store but not a sprawling mega store, making it especially well-suited for city living while still offering a broader inventory and the convenience of free parking. Both locations feel like thoughtful adaptations of the traditional suburban retail model rather than watered-down versions. As parents, we've also been consistently impressed by Target's private-label products. Their diapers, formula, yogurt pouches, peanut butter, dairy products, pasta, and other everyday essentials have all been of excellent quality at prices meaningfully lower than those of many national brands. Target's Philadelphia stores demonstrate how thoughtful, adaptable retail can succeed in urban environments while preserving the core values that built customer loyalty in the first place. Highly recommended!

By that I mean they explain everything to you, what's your prescription side effects, how they conflict with other drugs or herbs that you may be taking. I met the pharmacist there named Vinny and we hit it off immediately. He goes above and beyond the call of duty for any Pharmacist I've ever met. He constantly tries to save you money on your insurance plan by checking drug company coupons and or online discounts. Once or twice I went there to pick up a prescription that my doctor supposedlly phoned in, and when I reached the pharmacy no such phone call was made. Vinny tracked down my doctor (not an easy task) and straightened it out for me. After getting to know Vinny and the other guys at the pharmacy, I found out that they do a lot of community outreach, especially with HIV patients and people who cannot afford expensive medicines.
