Walgreens

I am sad too to find out that this Walgreen’s closed recently. No reason why and I didn’t suspect it till three days ago.
This was a great Walgreen’s store. Neatly stacked with everything that a usual Walgreen’s had. The only exception was that this location had a drive through pharmacy.
Just as Dyanne pointed out, the only downside was that this store wasn’t open 24 hours.
Wouldn’t be surprised if CVS is the reason that this place closed as there is a location across the street.

They’re not the largest Walgreens, but they are convenient, pleasant, and the store is clean. It has been my go to drugstore for at least 10 years now, especially after The Long’s across the street became CVS. I was saddened to learn that this store will be closing soon. Just wondering what will replace it.

This is a great store. I love it as it has a drive through pharmacy! The convenience cannot be beaten with kids in the car — and a prescription to pick up. They really work with you medical providers to get prescriptions refilled.
Plenty of parking and generally a clean store. Even got flu shots here!

I came on a weekend to get some last minute supplies. First thing I noticed was that this walgreens is huge! Not only do they have a really big supply of goodies, the customer service was excellent. I was greeted by the friendly cashier, asked if I needed directions to anything, and then wished a great day even though he was helping other customers at the same time.
It is located in a busy shopping at a traffic-​filled intersection, so make sure you allocate ample time for the commute.

I went there to have a passport photo taken. Apparently there was something wrong with the printer, so they kept me waiting an hour or so as they tried to fix it. Finally I asked if I could go home and they could call me when they had it ready. I called 2 hours later and the photos still weren’t ready. I ended up going somewhere else.

This Walgreens is located in the Mission & Warm Springs Area, next door to a Safeway.
I went here to refill my AC Transit Clipper Card, and well quite frankly yes there was a wait, but I mean it was the end of the month, so there’s always gonna be a wait seeing as Walgreens & Raley’s are like the only stores you can refill your card unless you go to the Oakland Office or another mom and pop store that services this, which are not many.
Besides the little wait, the store itself is pretty clean and I mean, service well it was alright. It just takes a while with these Clipper Card things especially if something goes wrong.
Parking: Plenty of parking, so no problem with that. You’ll find a parking spot easily on most days.

Walgreens neatly stacked, aisles tight. items looking for not on sale yet. pricey, more so than at target.
buys: «miaow miaow» cuttlefish flavored snacks (.990
–has every chemical and additive known to man in it (yes, msg too)
–tasty, sweet
–habit forming
crumbs:
=lots of parking’
–smiling checkout

Though I generally LOVE this Walgreens, I have noticed something lately that really bugs me. They never seem to restock the cosmetics. I have gone in and looked at products and noticed that a shade/​or color is out of stock. I wait a few weeks. go back.same thing. Two months have gone by and still. no restock. There is a space for it on the shelf. and a price. but no items. This is the same for the shampoo aisle. Why bother having the newest products if you aren’t going to restock after they sell out. Doesn’t make sense to me. CVS is just across the street. They are a bit more expensive, but always seem to have everything in stock… or if they do run out… wait a few days or so, and they will restock it.

I was at Safeway next door, and thought I’d do a quick pass through to compare this Walgreen’s to the one on Blacow that I normally shop at.
This is a much larger store. Pharmacy in the back with more room to wait for your prescription. Wide aisles, not busy for a Saturday afternoon, as the one cashier at the front of the store had no customers.
No one was manning the photo shop area. Spotted two other customers in the store, and two employees besides the cashier and pharmacy staff. Shelves neatly stocked.
Good place to leisurely browse around without being bothered.

Convenient if not fast — I do like this Walgreen’s. First of all, you can literally find everything you need in a Walgreen’s. Second, the staff is generally friendly. Third, here’s the big tip — if the line is really really long at the main counter — go to the photo booth. They’ll often ring you up much more quickly.
My wife is a smoker, and I am trying to get her to quit — Walgreen’s sells all the brands of nicotine gum, including the expensive name brand gum that she swears is just like a chiclet. Have had many a good conversation with the sales staff there as we hunt for that special brand.

Our daughter needed medication to help her improve her breathing. However, for some reason, the insurance was not getting approved. It was late at night (almost closing time). Usually (in other pharmacies) they would have asked to come back the next day — when they would have had a chance to talk to someone at the Insurance company. This pharmacist was compassionate enough to understand that she needed the mediation that night — so he took a pouch of vials out of the box and gave it to me and said, «Come back tomorrow — while I figure out this insurance stuff». Well done! I know that I am taking all my future prescriptions to this pharmacy.

I love this pharmacy! Larry, Rebecca and Thuza are the best.
I recently moved to Pleasanton and found the Walgreens on Santa Rita to be a dump. I will have to drive back to my Warm Springs Walgreens to get far superior customer service.

what is memorable about this Walgreens is their customer services, esp the one who work at the cosmetics isle. It didn’t happen once but many times I been there, as soon as the line start to form, the lady from the cosmetics will open their register and help with the checkout. They are the friendliest cashier I ever seem.
I once order some pictures online thorough walgreen website, ever since then they keep sending me coupons, but I am too lazy to open it. But not a bad idea if you are coupons type of person.

Got prescriptions here for my tot yesterday. He didn’t like the taste of the drug so some was wasted cuz he threw up after taking the med.
I had the doctor call the pharmacy today to get a refill. Not only did he have to call twice to get it done, but the pharmacist was giving my wife a hard time because they claimed that the insurance company is not happy.
Well… you do you job, you either fill the prescription or you dont. If you can’t get the job done right and just wanna complain about insurance, I can take my money to other pharmacies.
Will not come back again. They don’t deserve anyone’s business

This Walgreens has the best pharmacist, Larry! After being fed up with the Longs across the street, with their archaic system of handling prescriptions and lackluster customer service, I transferred my whole family’s rx’s over to Walgreens the first day they opened. I’ve been so happy ever since. You can do all your refills through email (or get it automatically refilled). Plus, you can get automated calls from them to let you know your stuff is ready for pick up. Sooo high tech for our fast-​paced lives. However, they still have the human connection, with Larry around. He tirelessly will instruct you on your meds and is a total resourse when it comes to your health. He’s helped me so many times, from dealing with my insurance company to getting meds from another pharmacy on a long weekend, to you name it. All their pharmacists are great but he really stands out.

I love this Walgreens location. Not only because it is the closest one to my house, but also for their service and store appeal. Everytime I come in here, the store is neat and doesn’t look like everything has been gone through and misplaced. On top of that, the employees here are very decent and very nice — I guess it has to do with location too, this area of Fremont isn’t ghetto or anything so you don’t run into the weirdos like I do in downtown San Jose Walgreens. Sorry, running a bit off topic. And last but not least, my pictures are always ready within an hour here. I sit on my butt at home, upload like 100 pictures to
, and an hour later, I get to walgreens and pick them up — and there has never been a problem. Thank you Walgreens! Prices are also fair at Walgreens. I’m surprised Long’s across the street hasn’t gone down yet.

Once upon a time, in an unmentioned district of Fremont, some cashier at Walgreens dumped the f-​bomb on me. I swore I’d never set foot in a Walgreens again.
Well, fast forward two years, and I have to say that I couldn’t live without my Warm Springs Walgreens. I can upload prints and pick them up that day. The quality is superior to other stores’ photos.
This Walgreens always has cool stuff in stock. This Christmas, they had fabulous toys for just $ 4. The store itself is neatly arranged, but on the smallish side. For a bigger store, go to the one near Washington Hospital on Mowry.
Other than the fact that it’s a smaller store, I don’t know why they don’t open 24 hours. It’s right next to a Safeway that does, and it sure would be convenient.
