Walgreens

We were in the area to get some labwork done at Quest Diagnostics (see my prior review) and decided to pick up a prescription while we waited for our appointment. We first went to CVS but they did not have it so we called over to Walgreens. The pharmacy was super helpful — they picked up right away — and even though the item we were looking for ended up being over-​the-​counter, they said they would hold on to it at the pharmacy to make it easier for us to pickup. When we asked them if we could come through the drive-​thru part of the pharmacy, they obliged and we rolled in, didn’t have to get out of the car or move the kids and got our over-​the-​counter meds. That was sooooo convenient. I wish more pharmacies would have drive-​thrus. It makes it so much easier with small kids in tow and/​or when you want to avoid other sick customers. I have never been inside this store so I cannot comment on that, but the customer service and drive-​thru pharmacy was great. It appeared there was ample parking as well.

My favorite local place to go, 24 hours.
They seem to have everything and cool interesting things during holidays, specially Christmas.
Thank you all for great customer service.

The pharmacy staff is amazing! They are so helpful and friendly, I’ve always had a really good experience in the store and when dealing with them over the phone as well!

Great experience with Ron last night. I asked him where to find a tape measure and he sent me to right aisle but then I couldn’t find it. The store was not busy at the moment so instead of spending more time searching, I went back and asked him to help me find it. He did. There was a line at the one register open. He opened up the second register for me. High functioning. Great attitude. Wonderful experience.
Interesting about the getting in and out of their parking lot comment in another review. Yes, I had to turn right on Crenshaw but I made the easy U-​turn at PCH and was on my way up the hill. I’m sure this store cannot control the traffic rules surrounding them.

Absolutely GREAT pharmacy experience at this Walgreens store. Pharmacist is very professional, knowledgable, helpful and fast. I live near a CVS store in Rolling Hills and had the WORST experience there. This pharmacy is definitely worth the drive thanks to to Pharmacist and crew. Three visits so far, two Rx’s and one refill completed very quickly, will get all future medications here.

The pharmacy staff is amazing. They go out of their way to get what we need and are very good at dealing with the prescribing doctors and the insurance company. They know us by name and always greet us with a smile. We would never consider going anywhere else.

Friendly staff. We paid for our purchases at the cashier in the beauty section, and there was no wait. The cashier let us split our purchases into 2 transactions so we could take advantage of a $ 5 coupon twice for future purchases. :)

The staff was nice and helpful. It was easy checking out as there wasn’t much people there.

I want to thank the Pharmacy Staff for helping me out with my prescription. I was able to come back much later to pick it up, during stores hours, but the pharmacy would have been closed. The clerk was accommodating & sent me on my way in less than 10 minutes. She was very customer friendly, informative & efficient I also appreciated the Pharmacist’s genuine and pleasant demeanor.

I like this walgreens because of the pharmacy staff. Most of the ladies there have been there since they pretty much opened this store. I normally don’t shop at Walgreens for items other than health care so I can’t comment on the rest of the store but I have always been satisfied with their pharmacy and the drive through is awesome. I agree with a previous reviewer, the location does suck @ PCH & Crenshaw but its gotten so crowded everywhere in this area, is anything really in a great location anymore?
If you do not have prescription benefits you can join walgreens plan for $ 20 per year and get 90 day supply of medication for $ 12.00

A pretty decent place to run in for those things we commonly purchase in this type of store.
Sadly the help is often the kind we have come to expect in this kind of store, asked for antihistamines, taken to the antacid aisle, repeat antihistamine, the girl gets snotty and rolls her eyes. Duh… this starts with anti…
Did not shop there for some time after tangling with a really rude girl in cosmetics, same eye rolling, you stupid shopper, you could have found the cotton balls hidden behind a big display if — you — had — really – looked… with that little head shake (I interrupted her socializing with a coworker).
Their sodas are not cheaper than everyone else, but actually nearly cold, the snack selection is good and they are generally well stocked with band aids, polysporin, zinc lozenges, sunscreen, hand lotions and all the other little things you hope to find in a «drug» store (if like me, you do not need prescription medications). They often have fun seasonal things and good specials on sodas, etc.
The thing I hate the most, music often plays so loud you can’t hear yourself think in this store. Keeps me from browsing so I guess it saves money. I came in for aspirin once, bad headache… the loud music was painful.
At night watch out for the idiot kids from the «teen center» next door skate boarding in the parking lot and on the sidewalks. When they yell «look out b — -«, remember it is a Christian center. ;-)
Anthony is right, plan your exit, there is access and exit from three streets, in heavy traffic, it can take a little care.

Went in here the other day after going to two other Walgreens who were sold out of the item I wanted (yes I am persistant)
Was greeted by the cashier. «Weren’t you just at the other store?» Ok what business is it of yours and how do you even know? It made me felt creeped out and uncomfortable.

Horrible location for getting in and out of the place — you are forced to make a right no matter which one of the two exits you leave out of and not to mention the headache you will have when trying to get into the parking lot from PCH going west. I suggest that if you are coming up Crenshaw and need to go up to PV to just park in the neighborhood behind the Walgreens that way when you leave you can make a left and continue up to PV. Other than the horrible location, this place is just like any other Walgreens (bonus of a drive-​through pharmacy) and their pharmacy workers are all quite nice and fill orders fast.
