My wife and I have gone here a few times over the years (she doesn't seem to work here anymore, but we used to know one of the assistant managers).
+The store is open 24 hours, and there's a drive-thru (for anyone unfamiliar with Walgreens, the stores are known for their pharmacies).
+Some sections are very impressive. The greeting card section takes up 2 aisles and is rather nice. The cosmetics section basically takes up the entire left wall (in particular, there's a wide selection of makeup and brushes).
+There are a lot of batteries and brands of film and hearing aids to choose from (I should tell my dad, but he might not hear me). There's also a good selection of candy and travel bags.
+The magazine section is good. I smiled one day when I saw 2 guys looking at some men's magazines (my wife was waiting for me, and so I moved right along).
+The prices here are pretty good, and there are always some items on sale.
+The Pharmacy is fairly large and popular (although there's often a line, there really wasn't one when we stopped by around 3 p.m. on a Saturday). It was also given a makeover recently (it looks much more modern than before).
The pharmacists are helpful. The eye drops that my wife bought 2 days earlier at another Walgreens weren't appropriate (she needed some for gas permeable contact lenses), but the pharmacist she talked to told her what brand to buy (I quickly found the drops in the eye care section).
+The store is pretty spacious, and the aisles aren't too narrow (I hate when I practically have to hug a shelf in order to get past someone).
+Returning or exchanging an item is a fairly painless process (only managers handle returns/exchanges, and so you should go to the Photo Center counter- it's on the far right in the back).
-The layout of the store is good overall, but not in the front. You'll find water bottle cases stacked by the metal detectors, and a bunch of carts just a few feet from the doors (the doors, in general, could be wider). If you're at the front and the store is busy at all, or if you're slow (getting a cart, for example), other customers might get in your way and vice versa.
-Some of the employees are hard to be around. These employees are friendly overall, but they look like they're in dire need of a nap or makeover, and preferably both.
-The cashiers aren't very quick (some 5-Hour Energy drinks might be in order), and there are usually only 1 or 2 registers open. If the store is busy, expect to be in line for 5 or more minutes.
-The manager we dealt with when exchanging the eye drops was slow in coming (in his defense, he quickly apologized, and there were a few customers he had to help first). He was friendly, but the whole process took awhile (it wasn't "fairly painless" for us because we didn't know where to go at first- we had to move from one register to another one).
-The security guard who is sometimes out front is strange and creepy (he's overly vigilant in carrying out his duties, as if he's expecting to spot a terrorist in the parking lot).
-There's likely to be a few cars ahead of you if you use the drive-thru (you could be waiting 15 or more minutes).
-The parking lot is terrible (it's pretty large, but somewhat hard to navigate- parking also tends to be tight because of all the shops and restaurants around). I would rather chew on glass than deal with it.
-Bad location (this is related to the above issue). The store is at a corner, and vehicles are entering and exiting the shopping center all the time. I'm not exaggerating when I say that you're taking your life in your own hands when the area is busy (I'm a very careful and fast walker, but I've still almost been hit while walking from the parking lot to the store).
This Walgreens is nice inside, and a lot of items are sold here. Unless you live in the area, though, or really need to use the Pharmacy, I wouldn't go here on a regular basis.
