CVS Pharmacy

This review is for the front and only. I did not use the pharmacy. This CVS is in a touristy area so you will pay tourist prices. That being said, it is in a great location to the historic area hotels so that you can pick up stuff you forgot to pack. It does look like it has been a long time since it was remodeled. Service time at the register was acceptable.

Had everything we needed. Friendly and helpful staff. Reminded us one item was BOGO when we only presented one when paying.

This review comes by way of my daughter who got off to make a quick purchase at CVS was greeted by an employee who said good morning, welcome to CVS and floored her. She says she had never entered a CVS and been greeted. So, here are 5 stars CVS. ALL your employees EVERYWHERE should greet us patrons when we walk in the door!

Pharmacy night staff needs help. Can’t figure out insurance especially Jasmine.
Illiterate folks unable to understand key terms.

This CVS is ok. I found myself in need of some bandaids for making a poor shoe choice while walking around Savannah and Unilocaled the closest drug store and foudn this, right off of Broughton street.
The place was pretty busy, but things were in somewhat of disarray. A staff member did ask me if I needed anything. She didn’t bug me but was genuine in her hospitality.
The best thing I found, which is different than any CVS that I have been into, is that they have self-​checkout. This made my visit speedy as I went in, got what I needed, and checked out myself so it was easy peasy!

Convenient location with very friendly and helpful staff. Has all the usual things you expect at any CVS. Not the biggest store but they have all you need.

First time that I have seen a greeter at a CVS. That Southern hospitality thing shines thru.
One of the odd things about downtown Savannah is that there is not a lot of «normal» retail. Try and find a place to buy a newspaper. Lots of places to eat — just don’t get up too early. One supermarket in the whole town.
But a great city, worth a visit.

I’ve been to this location a few times. It’s probably the nicest CVS I’ve ever seen plus it’s the only drugstore downtown. Staff seems nice too. Just today I picked up 75 photos from here which I had ordered online, 2 of them were messed up a little but I expect that kind of thing. They do have pretty limited hours but that’s Savannah for you.

This CVS is centrally located to all the downtown hotels, making it pretty busy on a weekend where you’ve got 20,000 tourists in town for a marathon. We ended up stopping here a lot, since it was the easiest convenience store near our hotel. Apparently that was also the case for everyone else. Each time we went, the line was at least 5 people deep. The employees did a good job of keeping the lines moving. It was a little annoying that they were doing the vacuuming while the store was so busy, but I guess they didn’t want to be there too late.
Speaking of too late, the store was closed before 9pm on Saturday night. This probably isn’t a problem for most, but I could’ve used some infant tylenol, and this is the only place in walking distance of downtown that would have been able to fulfill that request, had they been open later. I’m sure that you don’t get much business, but since you’re the only pharmacy in the area, I’m sure the hotel guests would appreciate it.

It’s not fun when you’re on vacation and an issue arises. The pharmacist at this CVS was sweet and caring and spoke in a soothing calm tone. He gave me some suggestions and pointed me toward some over the counter medications. Whew!
It was after my encounter at this CVS when I realized that everyone in the south is just sooooo nice! Even the cashiers were smiling and happy.

This was like the busiest drugstore I have ever seen and they were courteously handling it. Three checkers going at it with reckless abandon, not a slacker, and still friendly to us pain in the ass (reading their minds) tourists. Someone is making some bucks here.

Needed passport photos. She managed to arrange me, take them, print them, and sell them without interrupting the conversation she was having with a coworker about some he-​said she-​said nonsense.
I don’t expect to be waited on hand and foot, but a modicum of politeness wouldn’t hurt.

Definitely not to what I’m used to when i go to a Pharmacy in NYC… I came here and they welcome us with a high «hello! welcome to CVS» it took me a moment to realized that the lady was talking to me.
We got the items we were looking for, so it was very convenient. My only complain would be that I think this is the only pharmacy in the whole downtown… I may be wrong though.

I rolled in here seven years ago for some basics while in town for a class, and again this morning for the same. It’s a clunky, run-​down store with all of the charm of a cinder block… but it had what we needed, so for what more could I ask?
If you need Q-​tips, a Diet Coke, a prescription filled, or just like to watch the panoply of tourists and locals rolling in and out, this is the spot.
The staff is helpful and the location immediately adjacent to the historic district, so it is indeed A-​OK.
