  If I could give zero stars I would. I came into the store with my friend (I’m white, she’s Black) as soon as we walk in, the security guard, also Black, is watching my friend as we look for soap in the aisle. When we go to walk back down the same aisle we entered to head to the register, the security guard had literally barricaded the aisle with shopping baskets so we couldn’t walk through. It was as if he thought my friend was going to try and run out the front door with stolen items. When we walked around to the next aisle so that we could approach the register together, the cashier, Latino, asks my friend to stand further back because “people try to take other peoples credit card information”, implying that he was protecting me from having my information stolen. When we explained that we were there together, he tried to justify what he said, but he was clearly profiling her because she is Black. From the moment we walked in the store to the moment we left, every employee we encountered was profiling my friend. I was extremely uncomfortable and so was she. I will never be shopping there again and neither should you, especially if you are Black or dark-skinned, you will be profiled. But no one should give this business their money. I’m disgusted.

  Great location but the most important thing is that it is opens 24 hours which is very good in case of an emergy. Prices are average, the cheout line is slow most of the time; another cashier would make a huge difference.

  The pharmacy staff is very helpful. The checkout line will frustrate you depending on the time of the day you visit. It’s nice to have this 24 hour store for emergencies.

  Expect to wait for 10 minutes in the check out line. Surprisingly above average beer selection and prices. The bulk beers are usually on sale even if you don't see sale signs.
