Channell Shopping Center — Local services in Hammond

Nice selection of stores from donuts to drugs ro haircuts to Japanese food or wings, they have a little of it all. Channel drugs would be the best, an extremely knowledgeable, super friendly staff, they are family owned and still put the big stores to absolute shame. They've served our family since the early 90's (with the main staff still their today) and Michael, Kevin, and oh I forgot her name, all so great, and they remember everything about you, and always try to make your life better. One time the lady pharmacist recognized my voice over the phone and just blew my mind lmao. The 2nd best has to either be OEC (Japanese restaurant that just can't be beat) or the Old fashioned Barber shop, who takes the absolute most care to do a top quality cut with that old fashioned barber shop feel. There's also a nail place (wrong gender to have experience there) and a medical practice (I believe for children) they used to have a pretty decent pet store but it closed and also a donut shop that's great if you can catch them when they have fresh donuts. A firehouse subs that's pretty great although commercialized and a little pricy. And a wing place that's great, and even had beer on tap and the game on big screens, down size is its kinda small. I believe there's also like a payday loan shark in the building, if you just have a need for crazy high I trust and fees and scumbag loan sharks. Last thing I remember, well 2, I think there's a pizza hut in the building but haven't used them. And a fantastic Sam's or commercial hair shop that I have used a few times for a quick haircut, nothing amazing, but cheap haircut. Parking is so so in the shopping center and can be cramped and aggravating sometimes, and the edge of the shopping center has a Walgreens (3/10 stars) with an ok selection, and occasional good deal, with pretty much equal chance of having a friendly cashier as one that couldn't care less working. If you use Walgreens pharmacy, you can pretty much count on lousy service and uncaring staff. This Walgreens pharmacy is as lousy as they come but hey, their consistent!

Have a great...

This is the best pharmacy by far-they know what theyre doing and the staff is professional and non biased. This is the only place that allows you to purchase insulin needles without a prescription-and its nice not to be profiled and refused service like Walgreens and Wal-Mart, who refuse to sell them without a prescription even though its not illegal! Some people need insulin 6 times/day and its insane that a diabetic is supposed to wait until their pharmacy opens the next day to take their medicine-tomorrow could have...

Just by chance I stopped in a Walgreens in that shopping center. I have been looking for certain item and pricing it at other stores. And I found just the item I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. Out of all the Walgreens that I have gone to looking for this item they were the only ones that had it at that price. Very good deal on the cologne that I had run out of. And it's not a...
