Walgreens

Despite being slightly displaced from the bustling downtown area, this location seems to get a lot of foot traffic from Cranford and Garwood locals. It’s at the intersection of South Avenue West and Lincoln Ave West, diagonally across from a Bank of America and directly across from a Sunoco gas station. If you powerwalk and are lucky with the traffic signals, you can get here from the Cranford train station in under 10 minutes.
Interestingly, this Walgreens has a pharmacy drive-​thru, the exit of which coincides with the exit of the Chase Bank drive-​thru – which necessitates the two stop signs inside the parking lot.
Most customers will likely park on the Lincoln Ave side of the building, where the main entrance is. The interior of the store is organized, well-​stocked, and like many other Walgreens locations has a small photo center in the front, a pharmacy in the back, and all the seasonal promotional merchandise in one of the center aisles. Now accepting Android Pay and Apple Pay.

Clean store and super helpful people. The store is well-​organized and great for picking up things in a pinch. I’m new to Cranford and this was the perfect place within walking distance to grab cleaning supplies and other essentials for our place. The hours are also very good for a town in which stores tend to close early.

Frequently stop here for prescriptions. Store doesn’t have the traffic that Drug Fair did. Always well stocked.
