Walgreens

Pretty standard Walgreens. Came here to pick up essential supplies while staying in NOLA. Would come back here again.

Love this location! They are open late or maybe all night? They are constantly stocked with everything you need. They are a little pricey but they are perfectly located. Water is in the front so you do not have to worry about heading to the back of the store. Snacks are plentiful and multiple registers are usually open.

I was in need of some necessities and this was the closest grocery type store to where we were. The prices here are way higher than any other Walgreens that I have been in but, I expected it. The shelves in a lot of sections were completely bare so, I am not sure what their restocking policy is but, they should probably rethink it for customer satisfaction purposes.
There aren’t any checkout lanes! Instead they have two self-​checkout lanes and a person standing there to swipe and bag your stuff. I don’t really understand this logic because the guy did all the work for me anyway except for me doing my payment through the machine. They had a huge alcohol selection for a Walgreens but, I am sure this is what most people in the area stop in for!
They also don’t have any restrooms in the store. You have to go into the neighboring commercial/​storefront «mall» type place!

I’ve only EVER come in here to use the Chase ATM. I have walked around the store a couple times, but only when a companion was waiting in line to use the ATM. Everything is overpriced and geared toward ripping off tourists. I will continue to come only for the ATM.

Everything here was way overpriced. I also paid 8 bucks for a box of cereal. Took it back as it was way past good date. There’s a cvs not too far from here on Decatur. The prices are pretty close to normal ., go there if you can.

I heard an employee say they had everything except wine. I noticed the shampoo was double Wal Mart prices. Okay employees.

This place has been a major convenience every year when my wife and I come for Jazzfest. It’s easy to fill in any medical/​cosmetic supplies you need. You can get all kinds of snacks, many of them local to the area like pickled pig lips and others more appetizing than that. We get cheap folding chairs to take to the festival. We have gotten phone chargers and all sorts of things over the years. The staff is friendly and efficient.
Check out the historic plaque outside, telling what used to be on the site.

I like to visit Walgreens in all cities. I cannot resist that big, cursive «W» beckoning me like angels in heaven. The regional differences of The Pharmacy America Trusts are endlessly entertaining to me.
I ended up in this particular W during a crazy downpour, when this Portlander actually admitted defeat and had to buy an umbrella. That should have taken about 5 minutes, right? Nope! I was in there for almost an hour, wandering up and down every single aisle, including the copious touristy-​souvenir stuff, of which they have plenty. It’s a smaller store in the grand scheme of Walgreens, but you can get anything you need there, including Krispy Kremes from a case up front, whaddup Southern Walgreens?!

This walgreens is even closer to my house, the customer service is faster once the see you, but its hard to get them started. I have been here many times and it is usually busy.

Located in a central location not too far from Bourbon Street and all the bars. Perfect for those days you need painkillers for your hangovers or maybe the extra mouthwash to gargle Or even a T-​shirt to replace the one your friend puked all over.
I’m sure there are other locations where you can pick up cheap souvenirs or coffee from Café du monde or beignet mixes But a Walgreens will beat any other souvenir shops along the tourist roads.
There’s also a few Chase ATMs in the area but this one is located inside the Walgreens.

We decided to stop in during our NOLA walking adventure to see if we could find some souvenirs.
Score… I bought magnets and shot glasses :)
The line to purchase is long given the area, but at least the souvenirs are cheaper than what you would pay at the local boutiques.

Everything i need

This is the most interesting Walgreen’s I have ever been in.
We were in NOLA for vacation and I had a severe allergic reaction and had to call home and have my doctor call in a prescription for me. I didn’t realize there are 3 Walgreens within the Quarter an we walked to all three before finding the only one with a Pharmacy in it.
The walking to 3 locations was our fault not theirs. What I thought was weird was the items they had under lock and key. They had the normal stuff under lock and key like razor blades, condoms, medicines that you can make Meth out of, but they also had deodorant under lock and key. This to me is very odd. I had never seen Secret and Degree and others under a plastic case that needed a key.
I walk over to the nearest clerk and ask for them to unlock the door so I can get some deodorant and they look me up and down, like I am a criminal. I ask why is it under lock & key? They said it gets stolen a lot down there so they had to start locking it up. Ok I get that. NOLA is hot and humid and if you have to take multiple showers becuase you are sweating then you would need more deodorant and I could see people stealing that.
Otherwise people were nice enough, store was cleanish. At least this time we know where it is and how to get there should we need it again.

This Walgreens is well located, but that’s the only reason I’d choose to stop in (not that I think this store is particularly concerned with locals). It’s always a little chaotic and if I have my choice, I’ll stop at one of their other stores in the area or go to their competition. It’d be nice, for instance, if they took out the cheap souvenirs and added a pharmacy.

I’ve been to many a Walgreens and this one has the best customer service. I think it’s the nice personalities of the employees. They act like this is their job and they actually WANT their job. That makes a big difference in my opinion of Walgreens. Because, you know — they pretty much have everything you need in a pinch.
Melissa went there for earplugs, but they were closed. Gosh darn it. But they were open every other time I needed them. Like, when I bought postcards or Emergen-​C. And every time there was a happy employee with a great attitude who made all the difference.

Prices are fair
Location is dirtier than other drug stores I have been in
Service is okay

Located next to our hotel, Hotel Monteleone– great for late night snack and drink runs if you’re staying at the hotel.
I am in love with the various kinds of chocolate covered popcorn, as well as the Voodoo Zapp’s chips.
Quick, easy, safe.

Things are just slower paced in the south. Shelves were stocked kinda slowly, checking out was kinda slow, and even the mouse that made its way across aisle 1 while I was looking for cold remedies seemed OK with taking its time.
There’s a CVS two blocks away that isn’t much better, so… there you go.

A convenient spot (and easily found by remembering it is next to the Hotel Monteleone) to get basics like water while out and about in the French Quarter.
The reason I went in there was to load up on a variety of Zapp’s potato chips. Hello Voodoo Gumbo flavor! And you can’t go wrong with the Spicy Crawtaters.
I was stoked that the Zapps were on sale and I got cash back so I avoided the ATM and the pesky charges.
