Walgreens

New remodel Walgreens in an old building that is three levels of Walgreens fun, the employees are great!

3 floors of walgreen’s good open 24 hours… what more is there to say! The place is super clean and staffed. Drugstore and an a big aesthetic section are on the 3^rd floor. They even have self serve yogurt on the 2^nd floor. Undoubtedly your best bet if you need something late at night and other shops are shut.

I do not have the elusive thigh gap so when I walk around a lot in the city, my thigh/​groin region chafe. As a result, I am constantly shoving my hands in my pants adjusting my underwear and balls. It may look like I am hiding my excitement and tucking it my waistband in the face of the plethora of athleisure-​clad white girls, but I am really just trying to get comfortable.
It’s 9:58 p.m. and I am walking with my legs spread out as if I am retrieving toilet paper from the closet. CVS thought this was some sick game because they just locked my door in my face! I pulled out my phone and looked up the closest convenience store that is still open. Sweet, a 24 hour Walgreen, a quarter mile away. I can do this!
My, oh my, this Walgreen is three stories high and, of course, Gold Bond is on the top floor. Alright, this is it. I summon all I have in the tanks to climb up two stories. I reach for the Gold Bond. I rubbed that stuff all up my nether regions… Ahhhh relief, at last.
I purchased it and proceeded walking outside with swag. Sup ladies!

Wow, this area is enormous! It is 3 degrees. The very first degree has the cashier stations, beverages, chips & snacks. The next amount was smaller and had cold sandwiches and yogurt or soft serve machines.

The elevator in this so-​called «flagship» store has been broken for weeks. People who use a cane or walker or scooter or wheelchair cannot use the escalator and thus cannot reach the pharmacy or anything sold on the 2^nd and 3^rd floors. We have money to spend! Walgreens seems not to care at all about our plight. Shopping in the shabby CVS a block away is our only alternative. I think ADA requires an elevator if there is an escalator. If not, good customer relations does.

This is no doubt a 5 star drugstore. Why is this place so beautiful?! I could stare at their ceiling all day. Also, all the employees were super friendly.

Wow. Probably the nicest Walgreen’s (or any drug store for that matter) that I’ve ever been to.
Just a few things that I find particularly great about this location: It’s divided into two sections, upstairs and downstairs, it’s super clean, the décor is amazing for a drugstore, and the selection of products is just excellent. They also serve food and drinks including coffee, fresh fruit, sandwiches, various snacks, and a LOT more. Both times I’ve been in here I was greeted immediately by friendly employees who asked if I needed help finding anything. I declined because I was just browsing, but it’s nice to know the help is there if you need it!
I really can’t find anything wrong with this Walgreen’s. It seriously puts most other drugstores to shame. No less than five stars from me.

I want a Walgreens like this where I live. The two floors surprised me. Love the location. Love that everything was very neat and organize. The staff are so friendly. We visited two times within two days and the different staff members we encountered had smiles ear to ear. Very helpful and kind.

Everyone here is so friendly they ate always willing to help you and im hardly ever standing in a line long here.

I’d been past here a few times but never stopped in. Glad I did on this occasion.
Wow! It is huge over a couple floors too! Well lit and laid out. Wide selection of the usual things you expect to find and hey, hey, hey they even sell British products (No.7 — to name but one) in here. Nice and clean too!
Nothing but smiles and helpful staff during my encounter. Now I know what it is like inside, I’ll be back!

This Walgreens is beautiful. It reminds me of some of the drug stores in NYC like Duane reade. There’s 3 floors– first has drinks and snacks, second has froyo and some other self– serve food, third floor (my favorite) is all makeup, beauty, and hair products. It’s always wicked clean, readily stocked, and organized so you can find everything you need. Amazing selection of Essie nail polish. My only wish is that they carried ELF makeup products like other Walgreens stores in the city.

I used to work here but I can give an unbiased review, promise. I’ve also worked at a CVS not in the area so I had something to compare it to.
As a customer, this is the best drug store experience you can get in Philadelphia. The managers always made our #1 priority customer service, and that is how everyone should do it. I was there for the opening of the store so no one knew where anything was for the first few months and were looking for good customer service to get them to what they were looking for and fast. We were all well-​trained in that respect.
Since there were like almost 100 employees, the managers picked the most friendly people to be main floor cashiers, which was smart. if you weren’t that friendly, you stocked the shelves and set up displays mostly. Cleanliness was also a top priority which most customers seem to have noticed and appreciated.
They are very good to employees, by drug store standards. Most of us got full-​time hours if we wanted them and they start you above minimum wage. I still love CVS but am a Walgreens fan for life, as I’ve found their customer service standards are consistent in every Walgreens I’ve been to.
I think the only downfall of this store and biggest complaint is that if you’re coming in for something essential but not edible, you usually have to go to the 3^rd floor. Most commonly asked question: where is the toothpaste in this place?! Third floor. Some people got really annoyed about that but there are escalators and an elevator and cashiers on every floor so it still won’t take you long to get in and out. And you’ll probably pick up some things you didn’t come in for on your way but that’s the name of the game in retail anyway.

As far as retail pharmacies go, it’s clear that Walgreens is the best, and this is the best Walgreens in Philadelphia. It’s open 24 hours a day and it’s clean, the people who work there are friendly, and the line moves fast. It’s got so much variety it could be a Target. What more could you ask for?
Specifically re-​reviewing to comment on something that I had previously mocked from a distance, the sushi bar on the second floor. I can only comment on the vegan rolls & veggie lettuce wraps, but they were on par with what I’ve picked up from Whole Foods. Not kidding. Very fresh and actually slightly less expensive than Whole Foods.
Also the fruit salads on the first floor are better than any bodega around. Walgreens (believe it or not) offers a bangin fruit salad that includes: mango, grapes, pineapple, and several types of berries and melon (blueberries, strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon) — for $ 3.99.
I have issues with Walgreens in general specifically their «forced friendly» customer service strategy which requires their employees to parrot phrases at you in the most inauthentic way. They got rid of «be well» but you still have the man walking around chasing people saying «Have a good day!» I think he would serve better at a podium in the middle of the store with a giant «How can I help you sign?» like what Barnes & Noble has.
Also at this store, the handicapped buttons to open the first set of doors into the store work (usually) but then you get to the second set of doors and what do you see? No handicap button. Is that so the Have A Good Day guy can personally let handicapped people in? I don’t get it. The doors are ridiculously hard to pull open and well-​touched so it would be nice if you could knee the handicap buttons on both doors. Hell, they should just make it auto-​open and close. That door gets enough traffic to warrant it.
Oh and the «good» baskets (the small ones) they hide on the first floor straight back near the back of the store. Why? Put them up front. No one likes those giant wheel around baskets.
Finally, Walgreens prices for most things are usually higher but IMO the experience of stores like this justifies it. If you look at the ceiling you’d think you were in Macy’s.
When I need to be cheap and want to be ignored (which is often) I will go to Rite-​Aid. Better prices and no fake chipper «Have a Nice Day!» guy waving you out of the store but otherwise I will come here.

What a friendly store!
While in town for a hockey game, I came here to get some seltzer and candy, because that’s how I roll.
While perusing the candy section, a helpful employee asked if I needed any assistance. I guess she couldn’t tell I am candy expert, so I graciously said I was fine. (Of course it’s a Walgreens, so that means no 5^th Avenue bars, so I was searching for my second choice).
Checkout was friendly and efficient. The store looked well stocked. I liked it!

Had a fantastic experience here when my insurance changed. I got a phone call to clarify the changes and then excellent customer service when I went into the store to pick up medication– friendly fellow named Amir helped me out and he was awesome. I always have such pleasant interactions with the folks at this pharmacy! Would highly recommend.

I love this Walgreens, they have everything you could possibly think of and they’re open 24 hours/​day 365 days a year. They have frozen yogurt, sushi, tons of cosmetics, lots of deli sandwiches, drinks, a large birthday card selection,(gretting cards.) frozen food, fresh fruit and oh yeah did I mention that its three stories tall!!! Amazing !!! I have never been so excited to go to a Walgreens before in my entire life! There’s a Rite Aid and a CVS that are somewhat close by and open 24 hours too but they’re not three stories, they don’t have nearly enough of anything, the employees aren’t as friendly and of course they don’t have a wide selection of ready to eat food like Walgreens does. If you’re in Philly you definitely need to at least come check out this Walgreens on S. Broad St. even if you don’t need anything. I promise you will NOT be dissapointed and you WILL remember to get something that you needed. This Walgreens is the best chain pharmacy I’ve ever experienced.

If you want a refined drugstore experience, this is your place. I know you might be thinking, «why would I want a refined drugstore experience?» but you’ll know the difference when you come here.
This place reminds me of NYC’s Duane Reade’s.
1^st floor-​food
2^nd floor-​ready to go meals, FROYO BAR!
3^rd floor-​beautiful makeup aisles, pharmacy, other
So this one time I was dying at work from a cold, and walked over to Walgreens. There were two pharmacists manning the floor. They promptly asked me what kind of cold medicine I wanted, noticing my rudolph nose. Then she pointed me to the tissues. So thoughtful!
The cashiers are always really nice too!

3 floors of walgreen’s goodness open 24 hours… what more is there to say! The place is super clean and staffed. Pharmacy and an a large cosmetic section are on the 3^rd floor.
They even have self serve yogurt on the 2^nd floor.
Definitely your best bet if you need something late at night and other stores are closed.

Think this is the flagship.
I walked in and thought I had accidentally stumbled into a 24 hour Bloomingdale or Neimen Marcus.
Nope. It’s a freaking drug store.
Sort of.
A three story, sparkling, immaculate drug store. Largest selection of soda and energy drinks known to man. Second floor largest selection of convenience store crap I’ve ever seen in my life (hot dogs, Slurpee-​esq items), but also with a self-​serve fro yo stop.
Top story, the more traditional drug store items — pantyhose, makeup, lotions and such. I was in there too briefly to assess whether they had all the important brands but I’m guessing most likely yes. With some good generics which is what I bought given my newly refined budgeting principles.
Only docking it a star because it was so freaking big I couldn’t imagine it being a run-​in run-​out sort of place, which is important to me in a drug store.

Wow. Just went for the grand opening, by accident! It is so shiny, sparkly and new.
The staff was very nice and cool as cucumbers considering the absolute crazy swarm of people that were there. Over all the store was white with gray tones. Very modern and sleek for a drug superstore.
The first floor consisted of all food stuffs and a huge checkout counter. Aside from packaged food there was also a display of premade sandwiches and wraps.
The second floor was a frozen yogurt bar. I only glanced at it, but it looked pretty cool from what I saw. There were lots of people walking around the store with yogurt.
The third floor was awesome! It contained the pharmacy, the beauty store and the «home store». The home section was pretty standard stuff: school/​office and cleaning supplies; first aide/​over the counter meds etc; baby foods… All the standard stuff.
It was the beauty section that wowed me! It was beautiful and had the layout of a high end beauty store. More than just cover girl, there were some high end choices too. The Essie nail polish display was so beautiful it took all my will power not to raid it!
Yay, just yay!
