The pharmacy is definitely the most dysfunctional pharmacy I've ever patronized. The lines often…read morespan half the store, they rarely answer the phone, and the drive through is randomly but rather consistently closed. This has persisted for more than a year and a half. Understaffing, mismanagement, crisis, alternate reality? It's unclear what could create such a longterm and catastrophic dysfunction. Orders are never available when promised, resulting in multiple in-person trips. You can't call ahead to check if an order is ready because they don't answer the phone. They don't update the online system timely either. Perhaps due to the location, many of the clientele appear to be experiencing challenges. Lots of severely ill individuals coughing, pacing, and hovering inches from nearby patrons, waiting anxiously for medications. There are spacing stickers on the floor. But they're not enforced or observed. Someone in line requested substance addiction-related medications and was told it will take two weeks to fill the prescription at this pharmacy, resulting in a scene with lots of foul language. TWO WEEKS for what is apparently a critical time sensitive medication. As for me, when I left, the line was 20+. Waited for over 25 minutes and walked out without my order because they claim they didn't receive the order, despite confirming with my doctor's office on the way to the pharmacy. Time to switch pharmacies! Trust me, no matter how convenient this pharmacy is as far as location, you will still come out behind due to multiple trips and long waits and people coughing on the back of your neck. I have some sympathy for the employees who staff this pharmacy and have to deal with a constant flow of disgruntled desperate clients.

Ya know what's weird? As long as I've lived in Boise I had never been to this store. There's a Rite…read moreAid and a Walgreens within walking distance to my house. So I would just drive by this location on my way downtown and admire the amazing architecture. I'm a sucker for old buildings, basically anything that has some kind of nostalgia to it, I absolutely LOVE. I wish I would have gone in here tho before they remodeled it. I would have preferred it stay the original way because it's always fun to step into a time capsule. You still kind of do regardless because this building has been there for a min lol. You walk in and for me, was immediately surprised to see a store that had the "open concept" that everyone is so UNBELIEVABLY obsessed with when it comes to their homes. Honestly, the open concept is not creative, unoriginal, has HGTV written all over it and I wish people would just come up with their own ideas for their homes/businesses vs seeing some tacky trend they see on HGTV. That being said, I don't really tie all that in with this store. I mean, I'm sure the open concept trend definitely influenced their decision to do this store like that. This store is still great tho, don't get me wrong. I love it. It's one place that gets a pass for open concept lol. THANK GOD tho they didn't do everything in gray and white hahaha! If they did, I'd probably skip writing a review for this place. I haaaaaaate the gray and white trend. Stop it already!!! Hahahaha! This store is very spread out, very airy, you don't feel boxed in at all when walking the aisle's. They are wide enough to where a few people can be in them and you wouldn't get all claustrophobic. I have serious issues with claustrophobia. I pass out at concerts if there are too many people boxing me in lol. First time was 1995 at a Green Day concert. First time I felt claustrophobic and BAM! I was out! They thought I was on drugs and was about to kick me out lol. Anyway! Way off topic! I tend to do that tho. Nothing new. The layout is interesting. You walk in and all the makeup, basic necessities type stuff is right up front and the grocery stuff is in the back. I assume the makeup and stuff is up front because this store is located downtown area and theft is probably an issue. Prices are high here. Then again, they are pretty much everywhere. However, $2.29!!! TWO DOLLARS AND TWENTY. NINE. CENTS! for a thing of Tic Tacs!! HELL. NOOOOO! That is unbelievably INSANE! Some embarrassing truth here lol. Neutrogena had these exfoliating pad things. They're impossible to find. I checked their website, sold out, but the locator said this store had them. So I thought I'd surprise my roommate and get them. I was downtown for a fitness class and decided to FINALLY go in here. If I'm being honest too, these exfoliating pad things I wanted for myself, too because they're amazing lol. Locator said this store had them. I probably should have gone that day but waited until the day of the class, like a day or two. Of course, they weren't there. Tbh too, I didn't even see a tag for them. Made me sad. Now I'm just stuck mobbing around looking like an old alcoholic bag lady because I can't buff out my old ass face (Siiiiiigggghhh) hahahahaha! I don't look THAT bad tho haha! If anything, this store and it's history is what does it for me. I love it. I hope we always have it here in Boise. I think back in the day it was a Safeway? Anyone know for sure? Because we ain't got sh__t for Safeways in Boise now lol. Didn't really interact with employees. There were a few there but they have quite a few self-checkouts. Love or hate those things, they're convenient as hell. This stores are newer and super easy to use especially if people are buying food. That seems to be a complaint for most with self-checkouts. If they aren't your thing, walk your happy a__ over to a human cashier haha! That's all! Great store! Great vibe there even later at night :) Thanks, Yelperiteraiders!!! Cheers!

I seem to always go in there when a particular employee is working, Serenity is what her name tag said I believe, and she is just the most helpful person. She always stops what she's working on to take me right to the product I asked about and even gives me several different options to consider if they are available. I stopped in last night to pick up some soda and an online order from the photo department and I wasn't disappointed. She helped me locate their packs of soda and assisted in getting the photo order. The photo order itself was for a collage of photos I had designed and uploaded to have printed on a wood panel 8 X 10. It turned out even better than expected, extremely high quality on the photos even though the photo resolution wasn't that great to begin with, and with the coupon I found online it was only $12. Plus, I placed the order at about 4 pm and it was ready to go when I arrived at 8 pm the same day. Well worth the money and I will be using that service again in the future. So, overall this is a great location. Very clean, well stocked, hasn't been super busy any time I've been in there, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work!!

Minutes later he appeared with my order and my girl was ecstatic. Week made. I paid and was out of there in less than 2 shakes of a lambs tail. If you need a few things, I highly recommend Walgreens drive thru for convenience and the sake of public health during this virus lockdown.

The Fred Meyer's on the corner of Franklin and Orchard is my home store. One of the things that I…read morelove about Fred Meyer's is they do a great job of bringing in new products, including some that are hard to find. A recent example is Ellenos aka "real Greek yogurt." In 2013, this small batch Greek yogurt began being sold at Seattle's Pike Place Market. It has a cult-like following and is normally not found outside of Washington and Oregon, which is why I was so excited to find it at my local Fred Meyer's. They are carrying the 5 original flavors, 4 of which are based on fresh fruit compotes. Ellenos also has two seasonal flavors, Pumpkin Pie and Key Lime Pie. The two most popular flavors are Marionberry and Lemon Curd. My personal favorite is Lemon Curd, made from homemade lemon curd. It's unlike anything I've ever had before. More dessert than virtuous breakfast. I'm also fond of the Passionfruit. But truly, I enjoy them all. If Ellenos does well in Idaho, perhaps Fred Meyer's will consider bringing their new Milk + Fruit line which is sweetened exclusively with the naturally occurring sugars in fruit and milk. It comes in four flavors: Cherry Vanilla, Pineapple Ginger, Fig & Raisin, and Apple Cinnamon.

The sense of welcome and quality of service here is exceptional. This Eagle store has been at this site for a number of years, I think, and sibling to a Boise location. I don't know which location opened first but Customedica has been operating in the area for more than 20 years. My discovery of it was in 2021 when as if the pandemic times weren't challenging enough, I developed an auto immune disorder that requires treatment in flare ups with a compounded medication and the MD who wrote the script suggested I go here to fill it. (If there is a silver lining in every difficult thing, the disease made it very difficult for me to eat in the months needed to have it diagnosed and it sure was fun to eat the six pounds back on when I could do that again. :-) ) "Knock on wood", I've only needed refill of that med a couple of times since but when I do the pharmacy does a great job of filling it for me. They also provide flu shots and I chose them as first option for that last year. And they also fill standard, non compound, prescriptions. They accept insurance, including Medicare I am told, but although I have great insurance coverage, none of it pays for compounded medications. The store has a really nice selection of greeting cards, high end dermatology skin care, and gifts like lovely soap, candles and also things made by local providers. If you are a consumer who embraces the whole being concept of wellness, you'll find good quality brand supplements here too and also, I think, some consulting on what might work best for those along with other wellness lifestyle advice.
