It's just a Walgreens, but it has that small Southern town friendliness going for it. Really easy to get up to date on vaccinations, med refills, help with insurance billing, advice, and overpriced amenities that save a trip to another store.
I'm a sucker for the candy and chips aisles, and the photo department. When canvases go on sale, we pounce like photo predators!
The drive-thru is handy, but I like to go in.
I've had the some really interesting conversations here in the check-out line.
I mean, it's not dog-friendly like Lowe's, and people don't really expect a schnauzer sniffing their butt while they're selecting family-size acetaminophen, so the babies stay at home or in the truck. Only in the winter. I'm not a monster that leaves my fur kids in a hot car; i just threaten to do that when they're misbehaving.
Anyway, this place is always sparkling clean, very bright (consider sunglasses if you don't mind being THAT PERSON at the pharmacy), and friendly.
Sometimes there is modern country music playing. Not so awful that I'm gonna ask for the manager, but some of it is dreadful.
I don't "remember" the old Norman Rockwell drugstores, but I've been to Woolworth's in Asheville and this Walgreens would be so much better with a milkshake and soda counter! read more
