I work in the building, and the convenience is amazing. I probably go in 4x a week for either myself or for my office. The staff is always helpful and kind.
However, the prices are very high, selection is limited, and I feel like the photo print machine is always broken. They were also closed on Christmas Eve day, and all day on NYE. I understand the employees need time off, but it was a little frustrating. I also feel like hold times at the pharmacy are astronomically long, though the two pharmacists are each very thorough.

Impressive Robert E. Burman section of Personal Lubricants.(confirmed bachelor party) I was able to find last minute gifts and a warm pair of gloves. Aside from finding an open store in the early morning the help was cheerful even suggested better products over others.

Conveniently located in the building where I work. It’s a smaller store so they don’t have the variety of items as a regular store but they cover all the basics. Pharmacy staff is always helpful too.

Store review:
Eh no deals, high prices makes this a less than desirable location to buy from. I stopped by after taking my son to the pediatric clinic. It gets a + for location. You can pick up your meds after your clinic visit or if you live in this building it is very convenient. The only downside is the store is very small. There are not a lot of clearance items.
Pros: location
Cons: expensive, lack of clearance items
Hidden deals:
1. Register rewards to improve deals
2. Sign up for the rewards card to earn money back
3. Use coupons on your purchases (limit one per item)

I live a few blocks away and had tried every Walgreen’s within walking distance. This is by far the best! Very helpful pharmacy staff. They call (!) when there is an issue with a refill. Due to some surgery recently my husband is on many medications. One was changed recently; the doctor’s office called it in, and by the time we walked there from two blocks away, the pharmacist had already called the doctor to let him know it would cause an issue with one of his other medications. While it is a Walgreen’s it has much more of a locally owned feel. When I was waiting one day I heard almost all customers called by name. And, when I was buying Easter candy, the sales clerk asked if I had seen the coupon on the paper, pulled one out and applied it.

Standard Walgreens. They do close early on Sundays so be aware.

This is now a Walgreen’s but it for some reason is still overpriced. I only go here for emergencies because it is literally across the street from my job. Other than convenience, there really is nothing special about this place.

Another super convenient chain store bizarrely, but conveniently, located in «The Playboy building.» FYI, it is a Walgreens. The pharmacy is great. They filled my prescription pronto and even called the insurance company to figure out my prescription plan so I didn’t have to. Props to the pharmacy for going the extra mile!

Parkway Drugs is now owned by Walgreens and it is a smaller version of the standard Walgreens store. Pharmacy, cosmetics and toiletries, snacks, over-​the-​counter medications, greeting cards, some basic office supplies & kids’ art supplies. You won’t find everything that is featured in the sale circular and some of us long-​standing customers miss the Crabtree & Evelyn soaps and other little luxuries that Parkway was known for but it is great to be able to pick up some of the basics close to the office.

I found this pharmacy by chance during a girls weekend in the city. It was so fun perusing the aisles of goodies that you don’t find or will ever find in today’s corporate type Walgreens or CVS. I came across a bar of soap by Crabtree & Evelyn that sounded intriguing so I purchased one as a trial. It was an awesome soap but I couldn’t find it anywhere, not evenon C & E’s website. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to stop back in this drug store while downtown and bought four bars of the soap. The clerk mentioned to me that they could special order it for me since I couldn’t find it anywhere else. How awesome is that? I’ll definitely stop by again when I’m in the city.
Crap — looks like since I wrote this review, Walgreens bought out this pharmacy. Damn!

This is a real drugstore. Their selection goes way beyond your average CVS or Walgreens, in terms of medical needs, and the staff is really helpful. They also have an amazing selection of baby bottles, breast pumps and accessories. Nursing moms go here!

Filled a regular prescription here and was overcharged. I returned a few weeks later when I realized there had been an error. However, their records did not reflect the overcharge (even though I had a receipt that they then misplaced). They insisted there’d been no record of an overcharge. But to their credit, the pharmacist personally promised to look into it. One day later they followed through and credited me for the overcharge. In the end, their concern to rectify the situation was genuine and I will continue to fill prescriptions with them.

You know when back in the day Granny may have mentioned ‘the dime store’…she sure wasn’t talking about Parkway!
The place has you by your purse/​wallet strings and stocks everything that you would be desperate for at the last minute (ie makeup, pantyhose, OTCs, baby gifts, etc). And why do they have such a tight grip? Because if you had the time you would likely drive to a big box store and save over half the Benjamins, even w/​high gas prices. And the unfriendly staff definitely does not compensate for the inflated cost.
The pharmacy is standard & so is the pricing but w/​some of the attitudes behind the counter it may be awhile before they pay attention to you.

Ok, the only thing and I mean the ONLY thing good about this place is it’s location. It’s right across the street from my office so when I need something drugstore related during work hours, it’s a quick stop, but aside from that, the prices are outrageous, the staff is unfriendly and the pharmacy staff is no help at all at answering questions intellegently. I was in there once when the manager started yelling at a woman who was writing down something on a notepad, he almost had her in tears and kicked her out of the store. I have seen that manager time and time again in there and he is just not a nice person.
