Walgreens

This has to be one of my favorite Walgreens, which can be an odd thing to say. It just went through a reboot and got revamped. The renovation brought about an entirely new, Sephora style make up counter complete with an in-​house cosmetologist. Their make up products are a bit more high end now, offering Boots and No 7 products. The tried and true drugstore favorites like L’Oreal and Revlon are still available, but they offer a lot of new organic and skin sensitive products for those of us with skin issues. There are also cotton swabs, mascara wands, and lip brushes so you can sample the make up. Everything is cleaned before use by the woman at the make up counter. I got a mini make over done one afternoon because I needed some new foundation. Walked out with foundation, eyeliner and some new brow pencils!
The general Walgreens staff is very friendly and always knowledgeable about coupons and specials happening in store. I always feel comfortable having them help me locate something I need, and they are quick to ask if I need assistance. Overall, the best Walgreens in Kingwood, if you ask me!

I had a good experience with the pharmacy. I went bye on a Wednesday evening around 6:30. The line wasn’t too long, and the pharmacists seemed very organized. There was a nice balance between serving people inside the store and in the drive-​thru lane. Some places will only focus on the drive-​thru, which is super frustrating for the people who actually walk into the store.
While my prescription was ready quickly and correctly, they didn’t make me show an ID to identify myself. I could’ve been anyone who knew my last name and that I had pills ready.

It was Walgreens on Christmas eve. People were driving like maniacs so to walk into the store and have all of the staff be very chipper was a pleasant surprise. A lot of items were out of stock but they were doing a good job herding the masses and getting everyone in and out. I appreciate Christmas Eve workers. Somebody’s gotta do it! And if you’ve gotta do it… its awesome you all can still smile about it and make our last-​minute chaos a little less chaotic.

Had issues with a prescription — the staff — called and straightened it all out and got my Meds within 10 minutes! Thank you!

Everything I need right on the way home from work. The location is perfect so you can just swing in and make your purchases, then continue on your way. Sometimes a wait at the photo counter, but I think that’s mostly because of low staffing at the location. This is one of my two frequent Walgreens stops.

It’s your basic Walgreens. I usually stop in about once a week to pick up some of the advertised sale items. They almost always have what I’m looking for and even if something doesn’t ring up with the sale price as long as you point it out they’re more than happy to correct it (although it might take awhile to get a manager called over and everything sorted out). The employees are usually friendly and willing to help you find something. I would avoid the pharmacy though. I’ve used them a few times and it’s always a big headache– to be honest though I haven’t found a decent pharmacy in Kingwood.
