Yes, Walgreens is a big, national chain. Nevertheless, this outlet on Eau Claire's east side has always impressed me with its friendly service. There doesn't seem to be a lot of staff turnover -- which seems to be a problem in any chain business -- which may account for the small-town feel. The pharmacy service is quick and excellent, as is the photo developing. I've developed many rolls of specialty film here and I've never had a problem. There's also a wide range of inexpensive items, including greeting cards and seasonal candy.
