Walgreens

This store was recently refurbished. The store layout is now much better than the average chain drugstore. The aisles are wide and the store is bright and clean. But we had a huge disappointment at the sushi counter when we bought one plain egg sandwich and one plain chicken sandwich; both were pre-​packaged with sell-​by dates eight days in the future. Both sandwiches were dreadful with very soggy bread. They were the worst pre-​packaged sandwiches that we have ever bought anywhere in the world.

You can get most of what you need here except the medicine you need. They do not have it in stock 2 of 3 times and the staff is incompetent. They say one thing and do another. Do not get medicine here.

I love the expansion they did on this location.
Any time i am downtown and need something, anything — photos printed, snacks for the movies, some grocery i forgot, whatever… it’s here.
They added an upgraded checkout system which makes it all much better!
Their upgraded store has a lot more options including sushi, i know sushi at a walgreens, but really it’s pretty tasty!

Every since the new «flagship» store opened I’ve been observing the sushi counter. Fresh fish comes in every morning; immaculately dressed oriental men make it by hand but somehow I still just couldn’t get over the idea of buying sushi at Walgreens. Broke down today and got some spicy rolls with shrimp and crab. They were amazing! Complete with sliced ginger and wasabi and wonderfully fresh. I’ve paid 3 or 4 times as much for comparable products in nice restaurants This was every bit as good. I’m a fan.

There are two drug stores on the 16^th Street Mall in downtown Denver. One is this Walgreens, the other is a Rite Aid. They carry many of the same products, but this Walgreens is brighter, cleaner and more spacious. Also, whereas Walgreens has only one or two cashiers working at any given time, this Walgreens literally has about eight or nine. Consequently, Rite Aid often has lines, this Walgreens rarely does.
One other curious difference is that while both stores have someone inside working security, Walgreens’ security person is dressed in regular clothes, Rite Aid person is a security guard in full uniform. It’s a bit off putting, and another reason I prefer this Walgreens.

This is the flagship store, with the flagship staff! This store started a brand-​new era for Walgreens and the people that are in there Are just amazing… thank you Greg, you guys are wizards!

Everyone in the store was helpful and service was efficient. Found everything I needed quickly. It’s a huge store.

In my last review I said they needed a make over. They got one! So I gotta give them the 5^th star.

I desperately needed to use the bathroom but when I asked the manager if they had one he rudely just said «NO.» I just barely made it to the bathroom across the street and downstairs at Ross.
I hope the management here gets an attitude adjustment along with the renovation.

I’ve always loved Walgreens. Obama Care changed my insurance plan and, after 18 years using Walgreens, the insurance no longer has them on my plan. I’m forced to use CVS for my prescriptions. I hate CVS. I get only my prescriptions there. For everything, I go to Walgreens.

Going to their pharmacy used to be my least favorite thing on the planet. Seriously, the gyno was like a day at the zoo in comparison. I’ve waited in lines a mile long, while being coughed on by the very sick or cut in line by the seemingly oblivious (who knew exactly what they were doing). Ever since the renovations, this place has done a 180. There is a distinct and far waiting area to keep the line uncluttered, and the line itself has clear set boundaries which provides much more organization, which is a blessing compared to the weird stop point that led to line-​cutting incidents. Also, it seems like they’ve added to their staff which leads to much faster, more pleasant encounters than the disasters of the past. I went today and I was in and out and didn’t feel any stress from it (at lunch time, no less). I can’t tell you what a relief it is to not dread the trip anymore. For those who have switched pharmacies because they couldn’t take it, believe me when I say that there is no way you hated the 16^th St. Walgreens pharmacy more than I did, and it is not something you have to worry about here anymore.

Very convenient if you are staying downtown. Only a 3 because it is under construction and both visits yielded waiting to check out. But the clerks were very friendly. This will be a very nice store once construction is complete.

Went in and the staff was very professional. Houdini took care of us and took the time to calmly explain all of the traits. We were looking for something to help out with my wife’s arthritis. Awesome first time experience !

This isn’t necessarily specific to this store, but I did download the Walgreens app and entered all of my Rx info. I was also able to set preferences, including being reminded of refills by text or email, not just their automated phone calls — awesome!
Also awesome: I linked my fitbit electronically to their online Balance Rewards program and now earn 20 points per mile. I’m almost to my first $ 5 reward (5000 points). Rx refills earn 500 points (even my free Rx).
Also handy: Using their app, you can upload photos straight from your Instagram account to be printed and picked up in store. You can actually upload photos from anywhere on your mobile device, but it’s handy that they now have an Instagram-​sized setting.

I’ve been going to this Walgreens for four years now. I’ve always found what I needed (and left with more than I went in for) which for me. a girl who likes to spend the almighty dollar, is not an issue.
Customer service has always been great and friendly.

Like a lot of businesses on the 16^th St mall, this place had a slight scent of skeevy-​ness to it.
However, they did have club soda, which is a plus. They did not have 5^th Avenue candy bars (which is expected at Walgreens/​Duane Reade). The cashier was fast in friendly but the store was just a little too dingy and creepy to give it four stars.

Sometimes, you’re downtown and you need to go to a Walgreen’s. Now. This is the one, kids. The line is always, always ridiculous, and you will always be bummed that you forgot your ibuprofin/​tampons/​comb/​dish soap/​Denver shot glass… Whatever the heck it is that forced you to come into this Walgreen’s. You’ll always sigh as you shuffle into line, and you’ll hear the sighs of everyone else who has to line up behind you. And that might cheer you up a little.
Rest assured, as much as you’ll hate every second in that store, the line does move relatively quickly, and you might receive decent customer service at the check stand. For what those employees have to put up with, it’s a wonder they can even muster a smile.

So I typically go here to get my prescriptions filled and every experience I’ve had has never been better than 3 stars. The employees are grumpy and work on there own time. For instance I was just there the other day to get some medicine for the flu and pneumonia, it had been called in by the doctor but yet I still sat there for 45 min. I think it’s time to find a new pharmacy.
