| - Walgreens is one of those places where it's pretty much everywhere you want them to be. Whether it's casual shopping of hardcore purchasing, best believe you'll get your bargains here.
I happened to be here on Saturday, 2/13/2016 while waiting for 5:30pm to happen and I had some time to kill. I also needed some items for the next morning's Lost Dutchman 1/2 marathon in Apache Junction preparation. This Walgreens is your typical set up and definitely a destination store that's not Walmart or KMart, or any other regional store y'all have in the southwest. This place has basically anything and everything you would need on a daily basis, from food options, to cleaning supplies, to stationery and office products. This Walgreens was typically slow especially on a Saturday afternoon, so it was quiet to shop. Not Much people were in the store shopping and there were a handful of staff working to keep things flowing and the time on ticking. The overall experience here was good and normal. Average and positive, that's the main thing.
The prices here are very competitive, compared to those in Honolulu, where I am from. The sales tax here is more than Hawaii's one, but the cost of retail and the cost of living is much lower than that of Phoenix and Arizona in general. The store itself is kept up meticulously clean and the shelves are well stocked with everyday items for those who need them. They keep the prices as low as they can while still being competitive in the local economy, as well as contributing to the national and global economies as well. This Walgreens store is located at 754 N Higley Road in Gilbert, AZ. There is not much in the way of generous parking here, but with the customer turnover, you can be sure that you can find a spot to park and shop here at this Walgreens. Like most giant retail establishments across the USA and around the world, Walgreens accepts the major credit cards, so that's always a plus.
For me, shopping at any convenience store, grocery store, supermarket, or even a snack shop definitely helps cut down on expenses while on vacation, domestically or internationally. Shop where the locals go and see the local flavor of the area you are in! The store itself was air conditioned and the staff here was not as friendly, but adequate for this experience transaction. I did buy a few things, which made the next morning better for my 1/2 marathon experience in Apache Junction. I didn't have a Walgreens card, but they gave me the sales price versus the regular price, which was awesome! While I was an out of towner here in Gilbert, AZ, I kind of felt sort of like a local resident here. Just a tiny bit. Made me smile a little.
For what it's worth, Walgreens is one of your essential stops to get daily necessities, whether it be groceries or other everyday items. Walgreens has got you covered. Happy that they are here and I noticed them while driving around this area of Gilbert while killing time on a Saturday afternoon.
4 stars!
