Walgreens

Big drug store with extended hours in a very convenient location. In an area where parking is somewhat problematic, they have their own parking lot and there are bike racks nearby. It’s a big, well stocked, relatively clean Walgreens with two drawbacks. Drawback number one is that there are often aggressive panhandlers lurking in front, they will bother you coming and going. Inside, there are often large packs of college students, maybe not a bother to you, but I’m a college professor and like to avoid work when I’m not at work. At times there can be fairly long check out lines.

This store here is 10 times better than the one in Shorewood.

That’s it. I can’t wait another second to write this review. This is the best Walgreens I’ve ever been to, and I grew up in the city where their Corporate Headquarters resides. So, yeah. I’ve seen some nice Walgreens.
The best part of this place is one Pharmacy Tech whose name is Deana/​Deena (not sure about spelling, but she is usually wearing a hat). She is not only extremely professional and efficient, she also happens to be one of the nicest people with whom I have ever interacted. No joke. She goes above and beyond to make sure you’ve used any applicable coupons, and she will pick up the phone and call around if the pharmacy is out of what you need. One time she re-​rang my 50+ items because of a computer malfunction, and was not the least bit annoyed. She is a ray of sunshine in an otherwise florescent world.
I also like that this Walgreens employs UWM students, because it has a slightly more playful atmosphere. Sure, pharmacies can be serious business. But sometimes you just needed to stop in for a Snapple and some water guns, and it’s refreshing to have a staff that seems happy to be there.

I’m a total Walgreens fan. There is something about walking in and seeing those orange tags which denote Clarence items, that just gets me excited. I can’t help it I love a drug store steal.
This location is great, there is always parking in the lot, which is like gold. The staff is always very helpful and friendly.
One draw back to this location is the pharmacy is not 24 hours. To most this probably wouldn’t be a big deal but as a night owl I am a little saddened by this fact. All this means is more careful planning on my part for my prescriptions.
Currently, all the super clearance items go on some of the end racks in the back if you are looking for random cheap things that are out of season. Don’t judge, getting candy cane flavored chap stick is delightful any time of year.

I went to high school at Riverside and remember how the Walgreens by it used to be. It was smaller then other Walgreens and didn’t have much to offer in variety. I finally had the time to stop in the new one they built down the street and I like it. Big, bright and with plenty of items to choose from. I will definetly be back.

Walked right in for «Opcon-​A» eye drops for allergy relief because I spent the night at a friends house who has 2 cats and 1 kitten! I’ve tried others and these are simply the best. I asked an employee and he walked me directly to them. I also picked up my favorite candy, Nerds Rope!

This is a pretty solid Walgreens on Oakland. I’ve been to better, but this place is not bad at all. Red box outside, helpful workers, knowledgeable pharmacist, and good service.
Prices are a little more marked up than other Walgreens I’ve been to, but prices are fine for Milwaukee. The variety of drinks is okay, they do not have Naked juice [||] (my friend wanted this), but oh well it’s Walgreens.
My fav place for drugs, quick vitamins, Benadryl, Tylenol, etc. A helluva lot better than piece of shh it CVS. Better prices by far.
This place has what any typical Walgreens has. At this particular location, you may encounter stoners wandering aimlessly, or brother Charles beggin fo cash money, pimpin da parkin lot but who cares — it’s a college atmosphere.
I personally do know a worker here who had to deal with a robbery. If you go early in the morning at a messed up time like 3 or 4 am, you may encounter some shady creatures. Go at a normal time and nothing to worry about.
I can’t give this place a ⁵⁄₅ because it’s not THAT good. Lot’s of creeches being nubs in the parking lot — lookin like a lost crunk flock of human geese. I’d give it a 3.5, but I gotta round up cuz the pharmacist was very informed and the check out woman was quick. Don’t expect a short line at checkout, but you should be able to check out within a couple min. after queueing up in line.
Where I’m from there are better Walgreens, but this drugged out place ain’t too shab.

your typical walgreens staff is friendly and helpful

I like the Redbox D V D machines. There are some things that are were here before they were on Netflix (e.g., Downton Abbey Season One).

I don’t know what it is about Walgreens that makes me an über thrify coupon clipper.
I actually get excited when I first enter… grab the weekly ad and scour away for the best deals.
If you’re going to shop at Walgreens you need to use the coupons. You’ll be glad you did — scoring some pretty decent deals.
Why do I love Walgreens so much? What am I? An old man?
Only A-​OK for this location because it just needs an update. (kinda old and dumpy).
I hear rumor that it will be moving into a new apartment development being built right next door to it in the future. I certainly look forward to that!

This is the best Walgreens because it’s got a great parking lot. Seriously, it’s awesome. This Walgreens is clean, and new-​ish to boot. You don’t have to be scared to use the restroom if the urge strikes while you’re shopping and also, this Walgreens has all the things you probably need. Cat food and eyedrops and whatever. The only reason it looses a star is because of its proximity to all the bro-​centric frat houses of Murray Hill and UWM. Seriously. Plastic cups and ping pong ball displays are smart marketing, but dumb too. I know everyone has to be young once, but maybe don’t be young around me. That said, I’d much rather deal with the sorority sisters and 19 year-​olds in Grateful Dead shirts and fatty hemp necklaces than even think about going to the Walgreens on Brady. That parking lot? Eff. Also, kind of smelly and there are lots of crazy people there. The end.

I grew up in Chicago where there is a Walgreen’s on pretty much every corner, so I can tell you that I have been in a bunch of them. Once you have been to a single Walgreen’s, you’ve pretty much been to them all. The things is that you haven’t been to them all.
What makes this Walgreen’s different from the average is the staff, the pharmacy staff, the photo staff, and even the cashiers, They actually seem to care. They know their respective departments and the rest of the store. They are very friendly. They actually seem to care about their clientele too, which is cool.

Unless you have insurance don’t get your prescription filled here. A single script cost three tines more here than at a locally owned pharmacy 6 blocks away.

This Walgreens is OK thats why it has a 3-​star rating. It has everything a college student would need considering it is 2 – 3 blocks from a college campus. It is also the only one that close with a variety of supplies which in turn causes this store to get extremely crowded. This also causes delay and the parking lot can get a mess. It also sells merchandise of the respective campus it neighbors which is pretty cool and some of the stuff is pretty cheap!
