CVS Pharmacy

Clean, nice layout, express self check-​out. Just a run of the mill convenience store. Perk– wine seller with good sales.

$ 6.99 for a six-​pack of 16 oz. Pabst Blue Ribbon… and you can buy it at self-​check out… Now that’s Five Stars right there and I can really end this review… But I won’t.
I used to do quite a bit of work for CVS. I love CVS. This is a very good CVS. It’s clean, has all the conveniences, like food and beer upfront. It has a make-​up area and a sizable Pharmacy in the back. It has a variety of items you might not find in other stores… like wine. On top of that it’s open 24-​hrs. What’s not to like here? Dunno just yet.
Five Stars !

Stopped in to buy a bag of chips to go with lunch. This rather large CVS doesn’t carry snacks in responsible human-​sized bags. They have 2 isles dedicated to snacks, but only carry bags in 4+ serving sizes for chips, Doritos, etc. 8+ for Chex mix. I guess this store doesn’t want healthy people shopping here.
The convenient store down the street had plenty to chose from.

This was a clean and large store. It was well stocked and had everything that we looked for.

open 24hrs… that should be enough and get you going to this CVS, right? Reading the other comments crack me up :) Of course, I respect them and please know that I am no local here but a frequent visitor who decided to finally decided to discover this CVS @ 4am, so maybe this is why my review is bias?
Know that if you need a restroom desperately, there is a French restaurant, Starbucks & chipotle near by. Again, staying near by at a friends, I was struggling to sleep due to being sick so I walked over. When walking in, the staff greeted me, the store was clean and pretty impressed with the food selection.
Also, self-​checkout is available.

1 hour photo?! More like 5 days and counting photo.

I had to swing into the CVS to grab a phone charger after a nice lunch in downtown Alexandria and had my wife and 4 year old daughter with me. Well, upon looking for the items I needed the famous words from my daughter came out of her mouth. «Daddy, I need to go potty.»
Ok, we are in a public place and every single CVS and Walgreens I had ever been to has a public restroom and I was buying something too. So my wife took my daughter to find the potty and was then told by a staff member that they do not have public restrooms. Really? You cannot let a 4 year old little girls that needs to «go» use the bathroom? Honestly?
My wife had to rush our daughter out of the store to a restaurant down the street where they were very accommodating to the situation despite us not being customers and let the little girl go to the bathroom before an accident happened.
I understand that Virginia does not have a Restroom Access Act /​law but seriously… it is a 4 year old little girl. Have some compassion CVS

I love their self-​checkout stands. So much quicker than waiting for a person.

Thank you, CVS, for adding self-​check outs! Quick and painless!

Very courteous pharmacist. Large modern store.

Ahhhh, so far much better than the crappy Ballston CVS! This place is very large, clean and nicely spread out so you aren’t bumping into people while you shop. Aisles fully stocked, including the CANDY aisle. That is very important to me. The pharmacy area has a nice large waiting space with chairs which I appreciate. In Ballston there were always large lines building up at the pharmacy and rarely did I see that area empty. Here I saw no line.
Same for the checkout — a large space, all the checkout stuff is together so you can easily see where you want to go and there are 5 self-​checkouts that all appear to be working. No massive lines midday Saturday, another huge advantage over Ballston CVS.
With one trip here I already like it much MUCH better than Ballston and am very pleased!

This is a big step up from the tiny CVS Old Town used to have just a block down King Street. Sadly, it took the place of a Books A Million, which was great to have in the heart of Old Town. This new store is all brand new and has everything you could ever want. There’s even a refrigerated section. It’s like a tiny Wal-​Mart.

I was on the hunt for a particular body wash that I could not find at Rite Aid or Harris Teeter. Leave it to this little CVS to have it! Unfortunately I had to come all the way to Alexandria, VA to get it. Service here was only okay. The worker seemed sick and I’m a huge germophobe so I was not thrilled that the cashier was man handling my products to ring me up. The things I do for body wash!!!

I had the pleasure of walking here very early one morning with a hangover. I had two simple needs 1. Extra Strength Excedrin and 2. A cold diet coke. They had both of these items readily available That is how they managed to get two stars.
Checkout was another story. There was a line of approximately 5 people when I got to the front, all impatiently waiting for the one register that was open.
The woman at the front of the of the line was bickering about the fact that she had three of the same item and two of them were ringing up as ONE MORE CENT that the other. She stated loudly that she didn’t see why she should pay more for two than the other. The cashier apologized and said it didn’t make any sense.
To me this was pretty obvious. 4 for $x.xx and she’s only buying 3. Why the cashier had to call a manager to figure this out is less obvious.
Eventually another register opened up. But not soon enough to save this review.
