This is just a review for the pharmacy and the so called "empathetic pharmacist". A pharmacist here…read moretold me that my PTSD was not real. She also raised her voice about my medication to the point where other people on the chairs in line were staring at me. That's a HIPPA violation by the way and has been reported as such. Also, the woman made a joke of "you don't look like a soldier" when I brought up my PTSD. I have been in contact with Walmart corporate and they are appalled by the situation and sending people to this Walmart to evaluate the situation and/or fire them. I have never been so humiliated in my life and I'm glad corporate is taking it as seriously as they are. I highly recommend going to any other pharmacy in galena. Also, the pharmacist trying to tell me my doctor (who is triple board certified by the way) was wrong and she "knew better" about my medications is highly illegal and I find it very suspicious that Walmart hired pharmacists who so clearly do not follow the law. Pharmacists can lose their license for HIPPA violations like this but it's entirely on them. Shouldn't have gone into the field if you don't follow the law.

My husband and I booked the candle making workshop on a Saturday afternoon around 11. It was…read moreabsolutely fantastic! The owner, Bri, was so incredibly friendly and helpful. We really appreciated that she thoroughly explained the process, but made it relaxing and let us work at our own pace! When you are making your candles you can choose from a variety of scents. You are then instructed to make 3 different scent options. Your nose will tell you which one you like best! She was then so helpful to get the wax melted for us and we poured our own candles. It takes about an hour for them to set once poured. However, Bri, was more than ok with us continuing to walk around Main st while the candles set. One tip we thought was awesome was, she held onto our "scent recipes" and once our creations burn out we can always reach back out to have more of our scent creations created. This would be the perfect activity for a weekend with friends, a bachelorette party, or just a cute activity with your someone special!

This was my second time doing the candle workshop (I did candle and perfume last time)! I met a…read morecouple of my friends, from Kentucky, here so we could have a bit of fun and still be able to chat it up. It was only us so that made it even more fun. Eric was so knowledgeable, helpful and patient in helping us create the perfect candle scent, the French way. Be aware that candies need some setting up time before taking them home. I recommend starting your Galena trip here and then go have lunch and/or a stroll in the city before returning to pick up the lovely packaged candle and/or perfume! I really enjoyed hearing the French music in the background as it helped create the perfect atmosphere. This is a great place to gather, have some fun together and create wonderful memories with a souvenir to take home! I highly recommend this place!

There is an entire wall dedicated to Melissa & Doug toys and puzzles, along with lots of books, handfuls of stuffed animals, and plenty of other toys to enchant the kiddos. Pricing was relatively on point and I was most impressed with the friendly employee who was more than happy to give us direction and suggestions regarding our dinner options that evening. Next time I'm in the area I'm going to do my due diligence and peruse the front of the store for a little something for myself. Girlfriend Gabby has the gift scenario on lockdown, so if you find yourself scrambling for *something* for **someone** while in downtown Galena, definitely stop on by.

My sister and I spent a day in Galena shopping and this was our favorite store. It offers a wide variety of clothing to suit the tastes of most women. It had some things for younger women, but not juniors. I liked that the styles were fresh and didn't seem for just 'older' women. The woman that was working that day really knew the merchandise and was able to help us try things we ended up loving, but wouldn't have picked out on our own. Make sure you spend time in here when you shop Galena!!
