Walgreens

The photo department at the store is a train wreck. I have had multiple problems with print orders from this location. The machine in house that does the printing is broken all the time. A few times I have picked up pictures that have washed out color. If there is a problem with their printing machine they do not inform customers by email. So you place an order and go to store on date they tell you to return for pickup and they inform you that the order is not ready because of the machine being broken. I have placed print orders with them 5 times. Twice orders were delayed because of the machine being broken, and once the pictures had bad color. Not a good percentage for their store. The location is convenient for me but I will have to look elsewhere for this service in the future

I like the people who work there. Very friendly and helpful. My only beef is that its not open later. Clean and affordable. Great customer service.

Happy to report that they take passport photos. $ 12 per set and turn it around while you wait. Open Til 10pm.

This branch is very conveniently located at the main intersection in town. There is a beauty department, and this location has a very innovative pharmacy. You are able to check out your order and pre-​pay, and the pharmacist gets it right to you. Cuts out a lot of waiting time, however fortunately there has been minimal lines the few times I have been there.
There is decent parking, and the place is pretty clean. My biggest disappointment was that the hours are not ²⁴⁄₇.

Although I’m sadly missing the three previous stores at this location, the Walgreens and soon-​to-​be suite of MD offices upstairs are not bad. That said, many locals avoid the place and shop at the independent Cary’s Pharmacy on Main Street.
The look of the Walgreens from the outside is far better than your typical Walgreens, CVS or Rite-​Aid, which don’t allow you to look inside from the outside. They built the store to the edge of the sidewalk, which is great. There are huge windows that provide a sense of openness to the sidewalk and the street — a great decision, as it pulls in people going past the store. And when you’re on the bus, you get a fabulous view of the interior of the store. Very welcoming.
This openness is enhanced by the decision to put low-​height shelves and the beauty section in the space closest to the front windows. The natural light coming from the windows improves decision-​making for make-​up (or so I’m told), contrasting with flourescent-​bulb glare at other stores.
Not sure why they made the ceilings so bizarrely high; the lights have to hang down 10 feet or more from the ceiling, for no apparent reason. The builder could have made the same height building 3 stories instead of 2.
The inside of the store still has that «just opened» feeling, with the staff very motivated to help you. The staff seem to get credit for a web-​survey that they really want you to fill-​out. A bit annoying to be asked, and reflects a weird Big Brother thing by their corporate overlords. Walgreens should change this system of rating employees because it is just creepy.
The kids from the local schools go here a lot. Doesn’t make me happy but it is a fact. My kids tell me that the candy selection has all the main brands, albeit often in obesity-​causing supersizes. And the ability for the kids to walk here after school for other «necessities» (middle and high school kids buy make-​up) saves the parents from having to drive them to CVS and Rite-​Aid on weekends.
The location is good, at the intersection of Broadway (Rt. 9), and Ashford Avenue. There are Bee-​Line Bus stops within a block or so for the #1, #6, and #66 lines. There is a seriously solid bicycle rack in the back between the Dobbs Diner and Walgreens. Car parking is more than adequate, with free lots at Walgreens, Stop & Shop, Chase, and on-​street free parking along Broadway across from Mobil enabling motorists to park once and do all your errands. The great pedestrian phasing at the intersection stops all cars while pedestrians cross, a benefit for parents with little kids. Unlike many suburban towns, people don’t seem embarrassed to be seen walking in Dobbs Ferry.
As to Antonella P’s comment about the no left turns coming out of the parking lot, just make the right turn and go around the block to Maple Ave. Easy.
