Clean store, well stocked shelves, lots of quick shopping items, good prices, adequate customer service when needed. Fast checkout at the Cosmetic counter and the Photo counter. Many great locations with good lighting in the parking lots and adequate parking.

• Pros: Great locations with great lighted parking.
• Cons: Some "dated" items out of date.
