“Most Walgreens in the Twin Cities close at 10 pm. When I am at a Wild game that starts at 7 pm and does not go into overtime, the game ends at 9:30 pm. I still can't get to the closest Walgreens before it closes. I try going before the game. Sometimes, it's nice to go shopping afterwards. It was December 27. I wanted to find a 24-hour Walgreens on my way back to the hotel. I did a search and found this one. Perfect! After the Wild won their game against the Red Wings, I left Xcel Energy Center and drove over to this Walgreens. It was a quiet drive. This drugstore has a parking lot. I backed into a spot and walked in. Since it was post-Christmas, there were sales happening. I saw everything from Christmas plushies, to a lot of holiday candy and chocolates reduced in price. It was nice. I saw the cutest roll of Grogu Christmas wrapping paper. He looked so adorable in a Santa hat. It was also reduced in price. I was here to get nail polish remover. I had thought that I had packed some nail polish remover pads with me. I couldn't find them. Instead, I found a small box of ten nail polish remover pads. They were exactly what I needed. I decided to get a bottle of nail polish. I went with Essie. There was a sale happening. There wasn't a huge lineup while I was here. I got a nice man who was cheerful. I paid for my items with a credit card. I also entered my phone number to get rewards. Done! I thanked him and left with my items. I grabbed some takeout before I returned to my hotel room. The nail polish remover pads worked well. I used them a couple of times. I like that they travel well as opposed to getting a bottle. The Essie polish was also great. The brush bristles stayed intact. I got the quick-drying version and it lived up to its name. I was impressed. I didn't get a top coat. If I did, my nail polish would have looked more pristine. I am rough with my nails. When I travel, the aftermath of my polished nails look unsightly... haha! This Walgreens is a gem. I love the hours. It had everything that I needed. It's a good one to drop by after a Wild game. (13)”
“I just rented in the area for a place to stay and entertain when I travel here. I understand it is a bit smaller than other CUBs in the chain, but they have a nice assortment of price points on upscale brands. The staff is wonderful. One of their cashiers, Fred, is just a joy. He's quick, efficient, and can still listen to your bad day. Fred always has a funny little take on your situation that leaves you laughing. In spite of stocking around the clock the staff always has time to answer your question.”
“This is mostly based on the Grocery Pickup vs inside the store as I love that they have the option to order items online. Though I can't accurately comment on the substitutions and "out of" items once I head to the store, my most recent trip was a disappointment. My new items in my cart didn't transfer over to my already made order, despite being within the timeframe (this has happened 3 times so far) I'm hoping the new app will be better! I found out some items weren't available, though several alternative options were still available, the hardest part was going inside the store right after only to see those items were actually available. Or the substitutes made were face palm worthy. Out of a very small order I had "cheddar brats" and a pack of hotdog buns. The brats were unavailable, but they made up for the buns by giving me double! I now have 16 buns and nothing to put them in.....? Time for a bun casserole!! Keep in mind, this is as of COVID so I understand things happen... I'm thankful enough with having the option in the first place, and for the no contact when picking them up. Given the craziness the store was decently clean. It was so nice to see an employee wiping off the carts for customers to grab on the way in. That they were protected with PPE as well as the cashiers having shields up in place. Big kudos for all the signs around the store reminding people to stay 6 ft away, as well as guides of "enter this way" and "do not enter" at the opposite end. Theres no way you can miss all the signs and warnings up. What I am disappointed in: my fellow people. We are lucky enough to have stores open so we don't starve or can get items we need..... why oh why do people not follow the guides? Constantly people were going down the wrong side of the aisle ultimately blocking people in. Grouping together so others can't pass or get out. This is irresponsible. I can see if someone tried to hurry up and grab something, but laziness never wins. It's not just about yourself, think of others. Some of us don't have masks to protect ourselves and need them due to the higher chance of vulnerability, like myself. Trust me when I say I didn't want to be there, but I had others that relied on me to get those items ASAP. Thank you to Walmart for remaining open, the kind workers that still come in to help the community out, for taking extra measures to protect your workers and customers, and for doing the best that you guys can. I'm proud of this store(as well as the others??) for making specific hours for those that are vulnerable. We appreciate you and the hard work doesn't go unnoticed.”

333 E Lake St, Minneapolis“I visited recently and worked with a woman named Connie. She was amazing! I had a very complex issue and she was patient and able to help me resolve it in a timely fashion. She also was great at multitasking, I had a great time speaking with her while she worked to help with my rent submission.”
“I wasn't the area and then stop by to look for some items and they was lucky to find those no show sneaker socks for women at less than a dollar each which is cool. And it is 46% cotton which is even very decent. The place was clean well organized and the staff are very helpful. There was diversity in the employees and the customers. Easy access. I did not see a police car upon entering and leaving which is a really good thing. Parking is relatively easy. I even saw a verse that's just stops in front of Walmart all the way inside so people don't have to walk under snow all the way out. I love this move from the bus authority. I had good luck and bought many sweatshirts too, besides the no-show socks. I will definitely come back to this one since the vibes were positive. This is the kind of Walmarts I would like to see all over the country.”
“Very good clean store. The service they provide is very good and at the service counter they went above and beyond to help me with my return. Greeters always seem very happy to see me when I come in the store. The only down part right now is the construction has made the store a little disorganized inside for the time being and the parking a little limited.”
“When another Walgreens will not help me with my medications refill as I had bronquitis and it was hard to breathe and the other Walgreens told me after 1 hour wait to go else where. This Walgreens was prompt and so polite and understanding that it took 10 min to get my meds . I want to say thank you to the awesome staff of the pharmacy at this location . This will be my To go Walgreens all tho is out of my way I rather the drive . Thank you so so much”
“This Walmart always has everything I came there 4, and employees are friendly here. Getting a flu shot or a vaccine at the pharmacy is never a long wait. Also, the police cameras in the parking lot make me feel safe! A+”
