24/7 treasure hunt. It's great having this store open 24/7 in the neighborhood. The weekly and monthly coupon/rebate circulars are like a treasure hunt, or scavanger hunt, with an assortment of bargains. The staff are helpful. The pharmacy section can get overcrowded sometimes, but the pharmacists do their best. (There is also a dedicated Walgreens pharmacy outlet around the corner.) The retail side is always good, and even when there is a line it moves efficiently. Also the "$1 Store" section has some surprisingly good things.
