Pharmacies in Blaine, MN

“Cub grocery stores around the Twin Cities are exceptionally generous. They allow food trucks and small businesses to park in their lots to do business. Of course, they are parked furthest away from the actual store, but the support is nice to see. When you see a review from me for a Cub store, chances are that I am here to support a local business. It was the case a few Saturdays ago. I was back to pick up two bottles of Fire and Ice Pickles. Michelle is the woman behind this fine business. It was my second time ordering from her.The waiting list is a good month to get your pickles. I lucked out with my timing. She had a few pickup locations. I had arrived in town on a Friday. She had a pickup date on Saturday. It was at this Cub store in Blaine. The window was between 3 and 4 pm.I had no problem finding this Cub store. I was coming from Coon Rapids, so my drive was ten minutes. This Cub store is in a rather vast plaza. The store is wide. It also has a pharmacy. There was plenty of parking just after 3 pm. It was moderately busy.It was easy finding her vehicle with her company's logo on flags. She is a nice woman. She remembered that I stayed in Bloomington the first time that I bought a bottle of her amazing pickles. I was in Eagan this time.I paid with cash. She bottled and packaged my jars of pickles nicely. She worked until 4 am to get all orders ready for this day. I was up till 4 am as well, coming down from the Minnesota Wild winning game 3 of the first round of playoffs.She said that if I needed more pickles, to let her know. She would expedite my order because I "came so far," which was super sweet of her. When I ordered my first bottle of pickles, I consumed them within a day. They are that yummy. They are tangy, sweet, garlicky, with heat. So good!I was a bit better pacing myself with my two bottles of pickles. I ate them before my trip was over. Delicious! They make regular pickles seem so boring.I appreciate that she has Cub pickup locations around the Twin Cities. It allows me to discover new places that I've never been to. I can also figure out where Cub stores are that I could potentially shop at someday!(130)”

“There's a lady who works here often when I pick up my meds and she's always so kind. Last time she said something that was very caring and special to me. She made a difference in my day and I appreciate her. Thank you.”

“I just want to start off by saying I'm giving the five stars because of the employee Daniel working in the back of the pharmacy he's doing a job very good job nice guy super respectful but the pharmacist herself telling me that my it might be a problem my insurance might get cut off because I'm paying out-of-pocket for my meds not trying to fill my medications I'm never using your guys's pharmacy again she made it seem like it was a hassle to fill my meds”

“This pharmacy is the absolute best in Blaine. Every person that has helped me has been super friendly and helpful. I’m never left waiting in store or on the phone. They really are a pleasure to work with. Thank you!”

“Did a walk-in for my Covid and flu booster and it was really fast! There were a lot of people waiting but was told “ I would be called back in about 10 minutes.” Very nice staff.”

“A few Wednesday ago, I was in Blaine for a pickle pickup. It went well. Afterwards, I had two quick errands to complete before heading back to my hotel room for a work meeting: - Grab lunch - Get some drinks and snacks I visited this Walgreens first, followed by Arby's for lunch. Perfect! There was lots of parking in this plaza. I backed into a spot and headed over to this store. I was immediately greeted by Easter items. I was pleased that cute Squishmallows were a part of this welcome squad. I briefly looked at the nail care section. It was great. There was nail polish remover in a number of forms, polish, gel stickers, fake nails, and more. There were more Squishmallows in the seasonal Easter aisle. It was also Valentine's Day, so I saw candy for both occasions. I did not buy any Valentine's Day merchandise. I decided to wait a day, to take advantage of clearance sales that likely would happen. I needed pop. I got a couple of two-litre bottles. I was thrilled to see Diet A&W root beer. It's not as common as Diet Dr Pepper. I took a bottle each of these flavours. I also got popcorn. I headed to the checkout. There was one person ahead of me. I didn't have to wait long. I got a woman who was competent. She ended up putting a bottle in a plastic bag. It was different. I would have double-bagged both bottles. To each, her own. I paid with a credit card. At Walgreens, the payment kiosk prompts whether you want to pay in USD or CAD with a Canadian credit card. I always go with USD and have my credit card do the exchange. I got a coupon for $7 off my next purchase of at least $15. I thanked the woman and headed to my car. This store had everything that I needed. I wish that I had more time to browse. The next time I'm back in Blaine, I hope that I can take my time shopping here. (87)”

“There is a wonderful pharmacist there named Erika, who is an absolute gem! She does anything and everything to make sure you are taken care of in the kindest, most courteous fashion! I absolutely adore her, and she is the reason I will keep coming back to CVS forever for all my prescription needs! Thank you, Erika, for being such a great asset to this company! PS. I think you deserve a HUGE raise!!!?”

“Pleased with service and all my questions were answered. Make sure you go to your preferred provider to get the lowest price. I always wait a day before picking up my prescription. Then I know it will be ready. Pharmacist are very busy with so many orders to fill. You have to be patient. They want to be sure the medications are filled correctly.”

“Of all the Walgreens I've gone to in the Twin Cities, this one has the friendliest and most helpful pharmacist on staff. Anytime I call they are kind and happy to sort out any issues I'm having. That hasn't been my experience at other locations, so I really appreciate this. Thank you!”

“I visited this CVS within an hour of closing so I expected to see some stuff out for restocking shelves. However I felt a little uneasy with just one person in the store working. It felt more like a gas station than your typical pharmacy/convenience store in the sense that the cashier was visible while stocking the shelves but at the same time I felt more comfortable using the self checkout rather than stop them from having them stock the shelves. I understand a business doesn't want to pay someone to stand and do nothing but it still felt a little odd. It would be nice if some training was done to acknowledge people leaving in case they want to check out with a person and not a machine.”

“I spotted this Walgreens while I was in Blaine last Saturday. I needed to get some pop, so I headed over here. There were lots of parking spots available. I backed into a free one and entered. There were some Christmas merchandise deals. I didn't get any because I was more interested in post-Christmas sales. I did find pop. Three two-litre bottles were going for $7. I managed to grab three in my hands. There was a lineup. Luckily, I could place my bottles of pop on various counters to give my arms a rest. There was one man in front of me who had maybe less than $200 cash placed on the counter. The male staffer said in Spanish that he needed this customer's ID. He was also holding each bill up to the light. The customer couldn't produce any ID, so he collected his money and left. One word: interesting. I rarely have cash on me. It was cool seeing so much cash. It was my turn to get another male staffer at the checkout. He didn't say much, but he was great double-bagging my bottles of pop. I entered my phone number to collect reward points. I paid with a credit card. Done! I thanked the man and left with my items. When I got to my hotel room, all three bottles of pop when in the fridge. I was happy. I had a great experience. It was nice to visit a different Walgreens for variety. (6)”
