a neon sign on the side of a building

Nice clean historic Walgreens on Canal Street. Walgreen Drug Company of Chicago opened their first store in New Orleans at this location on Canal Street in 1938. It was the first new construction on Canal Street since the Saenger Theater, another historic landmark, was built in 1927. They secured a 50-year lease, which was extended to 60 years, for this prime location. Love the Art Deco Streamline Modern design with the curved corner frontage. At the time, it housed a 100-foot-long soda counter, a second-floor mezzanine restaurant and a pharmacy. The original Walgreens on Canal was expanded after the original lease expired. The Art Deco design was maintained, and the original neon sign was restored. The renovation and restoration had a $5 million price tags. Nice to be able to get a glance from the past at the first Walgreens to be built in New Orleans.

Old school Walgreens! - VN

This Walgreens was located across the street from our hotel, The Ritz Carlton New Orleans on Canal Street. My spouse said it's one of their older locations which was apparent due to the old school rainbow logo & font in bright neon lights perched above the entrance. We popped in to get some drinks and snacks to take back to the room. Selection was good, like any other location I've been to, and prices were competitive. SERVICE: The female cashier we had was either mute or just an unhappy soul. Of course we didn't receive a greeting but my spouse did one for her in which we got no response. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Can't you even say "hi"? No price was mentioned so you had to look at her register screen. And of course no thank you was received either. She should find employment behind the scenes where she doesn't have to deal with humans. Three simple rules, honey. 1) Greet. 2) Be pleasant. 3) Thank. TIP: Closes at midnight. OVERALL: All around convenience.

If I wasn't from Chicago and knew that Walgreens was based out of Deerfield, Illinois, I would think this was the Flagship store. And that it hasn't been changed since 1957! (see pics) I mean, surely this Walgreens was a Woolworth's previously. Can you smell that old Walgreens' smell of roach spray and cheap cosmetics? The new stores don't have it anymore, but surely it resides here as a monument to Walgreens past. If I wasn't afraid of getting run over by a New Orleans' street car, I would've bowed down in the middle of Canal. We're not worthy! "Woolworthy!"

" Dirty & Messy " We went to New Orleans and needed to stop at the Walgreens to pick up some items. The store looks very nice from the outside of the building. But when you walk into the store it smells, it's dirty, and a lot of the isles the day we were there were very messy. I kept thinking the entire time I was in the store that " Does the Corporate Offices Know About This ". Not a good representation of a Walgreens. Oh and it took forever to get check out.

The rudest and most unprofessional Customer Service I have ever experienced in my 60+ years. I was…read moretrying to drop off a return for Fedex, a service Walgreens is paid for by Fedex. There were two registers at the front of the store. One had a line, the other did not; the one with the line had a Fedex sign behind it. I pardoned myself to ask if it was the correct line for the drop off. The woman said either register could help me and to place the box on the counter at the other register.; the attendant at the other register was about 5 feet away and hear d the interaction. I did as I was instructed. The woman at the second counter was tidying and dilly-dallying, totally ignoring me. When I finally commented she rudely asked if I were speaking to her and said, "if you want help from be you gotta ask for it; you can't be standing there thinking I will help you if you don't ask me." I said your coworker just asked me to come to this register. She repeated her rude little you gotta ask tirade and continued to do other things, at which point I walked out. Abominable, and not the first time I hae been treated rudely at this store. I will drive 15 miles out of my way to avoid that store.

The pharmacy is incredibly frustrating. Long lines (sometimes) aside, the computer system just…read moredoesn't work. I have signed up for monthly automatic refills numerous times, and it never works. I have to call to refill, and lately the refills cannot be made in time, so I run out of medication. The automated system is garbage, and when I opt to attempt to speak with a pharmacist, I am put on hold for a half an hour or more, and hang up. No one has ever answered the phone. Nothing against the people who work there, but it's a really bad store in terms of functionality. The rest of the store is a typical Walgreens.
