Convenience Stores in Oak Brook, IL

“Let's keep it real- we all know that the older Indian guy who works the cash register isn't always friendly- he can be straight up condescending (don't know why, he looks like he's from a lower caste family back in the motherland LOL....nevertheless, while my husband and I have a main property in Lincoln Park, we drive out to this Walgreen in the suburbs to avoid the craziness/crime happening around Chicago these days, and for the most part, always feel safe at this Walgreen's location.”

“Considering my intention was to run in for a coffee or tea, I had not anticipated writing a review; however, my experience was exemplary. Since the experience was unexpected, I cannot produce photos or footage to corroborate claims. You'll just have to trust me. As someone who has extensive experience as a surveyor/ enthusiast of gas stations/ rest stops (I find them interesting and always explore merchandise or compare pricing when I come across one; it's hit or miss most of the time), I am quite familiar with how important optimization of space, organization, and signage is in the industry. Circle K exceeded my expectations in every way. Now, upon approaching the location, I almost turned around as there is a BP next door and I've always had excellent experiences with this chain. Once again, skepticism almost got the best of me. Call this an afternoon of miracles and wonders, considering I will be a loyal Circle K customer as of today. Extremely wise floorplan, mindful of space (kid-friendly, to the fullest extent of what would be capable within spatial limitations), tons of deals (ie $2 any size coffee with seemingly endless options for customization, buy one get one 1/2 many delicious snacks), concise, appealing signage, freshly rotated stock, and a uniquely vast array of items available (ie high-quality yet obscure snacks, goodies, and gums-something for everyone). The front desk attendant was extremely polite. It is clear the GM deserves a grand round of applause, as everything elicited a shopping experience of ease within this specific location. Must also comment; both restrooms were extremely neat, the shop itself was incredibly orderly, and pricing fair on all items surveyed. Thank you, Circle K; you were the cherry on top of a relaxing Sunday for this gas station enthusiast.”

“I LOVE WALGREENS! Especially when there’s nice people working there like manager Carrie, and super star “Team Player” my man Correyelle!! Thanks for going out in the snow brother to get the cart out of the middle of the parking lot!! I knew you’d do it! Heck, I’d do it myself if I didn’t have a neck brace on and broken neck too. I first asked that angry old man up front if he’d do it as he already had his stocking cap and coat on. First he ignored me and was sitting down, so I went over to him and asked again and he scrowled at me “ if it bothers you so bad, you go and do it!”I talked to Carrie about it and she informed me that he had been there 40+ years. I told her I’ve been coming here for a very long time too, but I’ve never been treated so rudely ever! I think she said his name was Jacob? Whatever his name is, I’m curious to know what I saw him put in his wallet at 4:47 PM, January 9,2024, while standing at the cash register and thought no one was watching. Sure the prices aren’t always the most competitive at Walgreens, but it sure is convenient and I will continue stopping as I usually do. I gave this a 4 anyway but I certainly would’ve given it a 5 had that whole shopping cart thing not happened. Lol.”
