I went to the Walgreens for a booster appointment. I was given an appointment for 8:30 am, I was probably about 5 minutes late. I didn't actually get the shot until 9:00 am. When I complained the technician gave me some spiel about the pharmacist needing to make sure that the booster was right and everything. I have gotten boosters before and it didn't take 30 minutes. Also, when I got the booster, the pharmacist didn't ask me to wait for about ten minutes to make sure I didn't have any side effects. In fact, after I was done, he ran off. I will not be going to this Walgreens for anything medically related again. This location should not be giving out boosters. read more

Walgreens has stepped up the quality of their recently renovated locations in the city. Walgreens has become more of a local grocer than a quick convenient store. They have more food selections, larger make up and beauty sections, vitamins, school supplies, you name it. They have lightened up the atmosphere and rejuvenated the convenient store experience. More and more businesses are moving away from the quick serve sector and into the casual quick serve higher end service models. read more

Walgreens - Drugstores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

I live literally live next door to this Walgreens. The lines are always extremely long and painfully slow . You have to play this guessing game as to which register will the cashier actually be at . Then they walk painfully sow to it and usually with an attitude . I actually walk a few blocks away near the movie theater to a different Walgreens , where the staff is efficient , and very pleasant , and a manager is always nearby so you do not have to wait I can never find anything in this store .It is very confusing .I have seen people literally walk out of the store , stealing sodas , alcohol and they do not even seem phased . Yet they will follow regular people , who are well mannered and polite around in a harassing manner making the shopping experience even more unpleasant . The prices here are much higher as well. Some of the cashiers are horribly rude .A cashier rang me uo and then just walks away from the register leaving the receipt hanging , I took my receipt myself and was treated by another cashier , as if I was committing a crime , while at this same exact moment a homeless man was waltzing out of the store with a bottle of Jack Daniels for all to see and non one says a word . Really ? I found the manager and shared this with him which he apologized for . The only good thing about this Walgreens is one certain cashier in the pharmacy section , who is so helpful and kind , I think her name is Porsche , she is an angel . I am very sick with late stage Lyme disease and thyroid problems and more and frequent this store for the pharmacy ,and she always is so kind and helpful .I cannot believe people so kind actually still exist in this world like her. I only come to this Walgreens for her help . I went on a day that she was. not there and the new person in training do not even stay in the front ,you have to wait and if you summon them from behind the wall of cabinets they get an attitude . They also changed the makeup section to very cheap , low quality items .No more Birchbox or anything "good" anymore. The irony is that this is the "flagship store " lol. It by far is the worst Walgreens . I appears all bright and shiny and that is as far as it goes . Also the homeless people are literally at the doors harassing you . By Law they are supposed to be FIFTEEN FEET from the entry way door. The "security guard " wears headphones absorbed in his music completely oblivious to the homelesss people loitering in pairs outside of the door behind him ,and is and utterly useless . The entire experience in this store is unsafe ,extremely frustrating , inefficient , toxic , negative , hostile energy . Get ready for attitude . Buying a bag if ice can take 20 minutes or more in line . They will have 3 people behind the counter but of course only one register actually in action . Goodluck and enjoy being solicited on the way in and on the way out . Want to buy a harmless pack of gum ? Well Good luck it will take an agonixzing 30 minutes or more in line . This is by far the worst Walgreens from start to finish .Good Luck . read more

The people that work in the photo center at this location are incompetent. I ordered a desktop 4x8 calendar on Saturday for same day pick-up. When I picked it up, I noticed that an essential part of the calendar, the black cardboard that makes it stand up (aka desktop) was left off. I asked them to fix it, and they informed it would take 2 hours. Attempt/Visit #2: In a poor attempt to fix it quickly, they bound the backing so tightly that the calendar didn't flip pages anymore. So I asked them to fix it again. Attempt/Visit #3: they inform me that I need to re-order the calendar. Attempt/Visit #4: I go to pick up the new calendar and the black backing is once again left off. I ask them to compensate me for the time and inconvenience, and they credit some points to my card. Lots of attitude from the staff. Hoping to finally get a completed calendar on visit #5, but the bar has been set so low by their customer service and poor workmanship that I'll be surprised if they get it right. I just wanted to do a nice thing for a friend but it has turned into an extremely frustrating process thanks to the folks at this Walgrens! Don't advertise a service if you can't perform it correctly. read more

Drove an hour to see Ingrid Michaelson perform in the Apple store and there is NO BATHROOM! Holding concerts with NO BATHROOM?!? Does Walgreen's know that Apple tells its customers to go across Michigan Ave to Walgreens?!! Terrible. How cheap & wrong. read more

Large Walgreens located right on Michigan Avenue in the Wrigley Building. With a redbox, sushi bar, beer cave (large fridge with many beer options including unique bombers), pharmacy, etc this Walgreens has everything you could need! We were able to get everything for a happy hour with friends (cheese, salami, wine, sushi) right here. All fresh and inexpensive! I'm not one to give out 5 stars easily, especially for a chain like Walgreens, but this location is honestly so impressive that I must! They are clean, courteous, and have an amazing number of options for food, drinks, and other products. read more

If you end up having a problem with Lester (cashier), please contact the district manager at 708-205-1633 or kevin.crowley@walgreens.com.

The world's largest Walgreens? Everything you could possibly hope for in a drug store (2 levels).

The Walgreens store itself is good. Do NOT go to the Advocate Clinic located inside it. Not well run. NP could not even pronounce medical terms correctly, kept forgetting what I'd told him about my symptoms, and could not figure out how to send my Rx to the pharmacy which was 5 steps away. read more

Beware of the escalator. It's always broken. They do have an elevator, if you need it. If you're in anyway handicapped, you might have problems getting around the store. read more

Cordarryl-is top notch!! The store was very clean and the cashiers were helpful and friendly. But the best Walgreens teem Memebr was Cordarryal he was so kind and beyond helpful... I was wondering arising and asked if I needed a basket...and then I asked for specific bottled water he walked back with me to the water section and the shelf was empty. He offered to go down to the storage area and check for me ...he hand carried a box of water and he kindly offered what I was looking for, he wished me a good evening and he went back to stock the shelf...he was/is so kind and very gracious...he should he employ if the month read more

I was traveling in Chicago and I went in for an emergency eye exam and contacts. The manager Kevin and assistant Barbara were very nice and the doctor's office was very clean. I appreciated Dr. Patel's informative consultation during my exam. I have to say I was surprised that it was a fantastic service, better than some of my previous exams at standard eye-doctor offices. And they have some good looking frames by Zac Posen. Thank you Walgreens :-))) read more

This place was awesome. Went here with a friend and was amazed at the amount of products and services they have. Very clean and well organized This ain't your typical Walgreens. read more

Went to this store in the iconic Wrigley building. Great location and hours. 2 floors. Prices for basics are reasonable. Large bottled water for just over $1. It sells just about everything one is looking for including touristy items and gifts. read more

This is for the minute clinic. Don't bother trying to walk in. I just wasted my time based on the assumption they take walk ins like their website said. They were polite and it's probably not the employees' fault but they pretty much came out and told me not to bother waiting. So frustrating. Again I guess make an appointment or don't waste your time, because their website is misleading. read more

Ugh! Beautiful store...UNfriendly, UNwelcoming and annoyed staff. The customer experience there is SO uncomfortable during each of my visits over the past months with the exception of the pharmacy team. (The reason for 2 starts and not 1.) The people at check-out speak in terse and coercive tones. I keep thinking it will change. My elderly & very kind mother was given a glare when asking to check out...really? WHO behaves that way? No manners at all. No one cracks a smile except when talking to each other. It's got to be the store leadership because the Walgreens employees in the Bay Area are very friendly and pleasant. Time to try out another Walgreens even though less convenient. read more

This is one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a drug store. My girlfriend and I went here to purchase alcohol because of the beautiful weather. When we went to check out I went to the bathroom because I had been holding it while we made our choices. Upon getting in line to use the bathroom and almost walking in my girlfriend called me to come down and show them my ID. Now I thought this was fishy and ultimately seemed like a crap excuse to Intimidate a young black couple who both look much younger than our age. However I let it slide and rushed down to show my ID then ran back up to use the bathroom. 10 mins later after finally getting to the front of the line again my girlfriend called me back down to leave immediately. Upon leaving she told me that the manager had come and refused her service. Now my girlfriend is one of the nicest people I know so I knew it was something serious that happened. She told me that the cashier thought we were up to something bad because I went upstairs to use the bathroom before purchasing and expressed this to the manager she also said my girlfriend had a shitty fucking attitude which I know to be impossible. Walgreens has permanently lost my service and the cashiers here are some of the worse with customer service I have seen in my life. read more

I visit Chicago once a year for a meeting and stay at a hotel on Michigan Ave. I was very happy to find that Walgreen's had moved their store from just south of the river to the Wrigley's location. It is a handy and very attractive site. In previous years I had tried to find an actual grocery store nearby and couldn't find one, but this Walgreens has everything I need to stock up my hotel kitchenette for a few days, including a lovely walk-in cooler for beer and wine. It has a clean, open feeling, attractive, secure, and freshly stocked with just about everything a tourist or business visitor would need. read more

Went there for a passport photo, the lady at the photo booth told me she'd help me shortly. 20 minutes pass and she walks past me and starts working the register. I stood there an additional 5 minutes before I got the hint and left. Shouldn't advertise something that can't be done. read more

Just went to the Walgreens in the Wrigley building and noticed a brand-new Freshii restaurant opened yesterday. I use Walgreens all the time... what a great addition! I have gone to the one in the Palmer house and loved it. I'm so glad that now there is a Freshii near my office. I tried their Pangoa Bowl and it was delicious. read more

I love that they added a Freshii in their location. So I was excited to see that Freshii was celebrating their 8 year anniversary in Chicago with $1 specials all day, I was stoked since I am a frequent customer. However, when I showed up on 7/14/16 to take advantage, this location was not participating and I suspect because Walgreens wanted to make the revenue. Sad to see this. As if Walgreens does not already have enough money . . . I was at Freshii the day before and there were no signs or notices then telling customers they would not be a participating location. I am a strong advocate for both brands but I must say this sucked to see. With everything else going on in the world, you couldn't cut us a break just this ONE TIME?! Lame. read more

This Walgreens is HUGE. It's at least twice the size of most Walgreens locations I have been to in the US. I wouldn't even call it a pharmacy anymore. It's basically a full grocery store. There is a good selection of groceries, plus a Whole Foods style juice and smoothie bar. Prices are the same as other Walgreens locations in the city. read more

I have dropped off my medications at this pharmacy for over a year, and every time I am speaking with Elle K. or the other man with glasses there is ALWAYS an unnecessary problem. They make you feel like you're disgusting for having a prescription, they most definitely give off the impression that they are judging you based off your prescription, and they ALWAYS make me wait until the next day or more when i picked up the prescription that exact day the previous month. I have not dealt with this kind of rude and unprofessional behavior at any other Walgreens pharmacy. I dropped off my prescription today, waited twenty minutes with the intention that i would be able to pick it up that day especially since i picked up LAST month on april 2nd only ONE day before which has never ever ever been a problem before. The extremely unaccommodating physician refused to give me the script that i told her was very inconvenient for me to pick up the next day and still not even an apology. She tried to say that because i picked up my medication six months ago on dec 26th which would have been in line with the time that i'm supposed to get my medication, that i'm trying to pick it up too early??? I am someone who does NOT abuse their prescription and is very respectful no matter what and NEVER writes yelp reviews. I cannot continue to deal with this kind of sumptuous mistreatment, and unfortunately i'll have to continue my prescription at another walgreens as of today. I plan on writing a letter to Walgreens directly as well. That is how upset Ms. Elle K. has made me. read more
