Walgreens

This is my fallback Walgreens, as I usually hit the one on Cedar Lake Rd closer to home. However when I check online and find that the CLR store is out of stock on an item this location will usually have stock on hand.
The store layout is similar to the CLR location so it is not too hard to find things in here.
Staff have been friendly and I was glad to find a coupon for an item I was buying located on the shelf above it.
This location does have a drive-​thru to get prescriptions which came in handy when I was on crutches.
The one downside to this location is the semi-​shared parking lot with the gas station and White Castle and the ramp off of hiway 7 leads to the lot being very busy.

I’ve been uploading photos and having them printed at a Walgreens in California for my mom for about a year now. However, I usually have my own photos printed and malled via myphotopipe. Any who, I recently wanted pictures stat, and thought I’d send them to my local Walgreens and pick them up over lunch the next day. Bonus deal even, they were running a 10 cent print special, so instead of sorting through and pulling out what was really worth printed, I just sent all of the pictures I had from two recent events. Voila! The next day arrives, and I tootle on over to pick up my pics, and lo and behold their computer system is having ‘issues’ and I cannot take my precious prepaid order without canceling it out and having them re-​ring it… which would be fine, IF I hadn’t left work in a hurry and forgot to grab my wallet. Ug! So much for convenience! Fast forward a day… and yeah, I finally got my pics… and all is… NOT well in my world! All excited to see my treasures, I fling them open in the car (I mean, who doesn’t, right?), and was so sad to see not only was the print quality poor, but the cropping left many of the pictures looking, well… awkward, and just really bad! Happy girl’s smile turned upside down! :(Short story, short… fast photos + cheap photos = poor photos. Remember most of the time you really do get what you pay for!

Always double check your pill count when picking up your perscrptions! I’ve been burned 4 times now on important meds. They always fix it, but very inconvenient.

not a huge fan. the walgreens in mpls have slipped. the portland oregon ones are kick ass, open 24/​7, let you read the mags for hours without giving you a look and are filled with freaky people. here they are a bit boring, poorly organized in my experience and always seem to be out of what i want.
today they did have my deoderant– the amazing Dove ultimate clear cool essentials– but only two. i cant seem to find them and want to stock up before i head back to the uk. so maybe two is better than nothing. however a bit tricky was the one next to mine, essentially the same but «prescription level anti-​perspirant.» WTFFFF. it was 8 bucks instead of 4 something. tricky. i so almost got the new one and then remembered that i tend to sweat excessively in my moustache and forehead area and not in the pits, so maybe regular is fine until they make facial anti-​perspirant which better come soon.
shampoo/​conditoner. yes, walgreens had it, but again, one only of each– though the stuff is pretty genius for the price (neutrogena triple moisture). again, some tricky business. under the price tag of these products it said that there is one dollar off with the coupon and then a picture of the coupon, to me implying that i dont physically need the coupon but that the discount is inherent with the purchase. not too clear and i should have asked at the check out counter.
overall– it had no logical design, aisle/​product wise. not a large store but you literally have to walk every aisle several times to find anything.
