Back in my younger days, I remember going to Drug Emporium to get shampoo, other hair care products and other assorted toiletries at good prices. Hadn't shopped there in a long time, until a couple of years ago. Now, with a family with numerous food allergies, I was very happy to see that Drug Emporium had a wide range of allergy friendly food alternatives, as well an amazing selection of supplements. Love shopping there, when I'm in Waco.

The one employee was super helpful. The one who checked us out needs to improve her people skills and be much more friendly.

Very nice place. I used to shop at Drug Emporium Denton, Texas before it closed out. I loved the place because used to have competitive prices.However, my vist to Waco store was not as successful as it used to be. The prices have gone up so much. I can find the same products or similar at lower prices elsewhere.

Drug Emporium is a great store so don't misunderstand my next thought...They have way too many varieties of way too many items😁😁😁With that being said, they do have almost anything you can think of when it comes to healthcare items. If you can't find a particular over the counter product for your Healthcare anywhere in town, Drug Emporium will almost always have it!Their prices are always fair and competitive and I can't say enough about the staff especially in the pharmacy. The pharmacist are extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to take time to talk to you about medications and your Healthcare...

A lot more here than a pharmacy! Dropped in to pick up a couple items from pharmacy, and I was pleasantly surprised to find about a third of the store is a large, well stocked organic/health food grocery. Plus all the stuff you'd find at a CVS and more. They have a lot of medical supplies, regular groceries, and some retail items- aptly named Emporium.

Some people underestimate Drug Emporium. They have a little of everything. I buy all my makeup and shampoos/conditioners, etc. there. They even carry the Shampoos/Conditioners and any other kind of hair products that are typically only sold in the salons. Oh and I almost forgot to mention they have a plethora of hair care products such as hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons, oh and even makeup mirrors, and when you're in need of perfume or cologne for yourself or a gift Drug Emporium is the absolute cheapest in town I promise, and yes they have the good stuff with their own perfume counter and a lady to help you find the right scent if you aren't sure what you're looking for. They even carry off brands that smell like the real thing in another section. Drug Emporium also also sells grocery shelf and refrigerated items too. Their Blue Bell ice cream is cheaper there than anywhere else. They also have another store inside the store called Vitamins Plus and they have everything you could ever think of for health and diet, including foods. Also in the very back by the Pharmacy they have western themed art, pictures and also some beautiful crosses and wind chimes for sale. They also carry some clothing items, and shoes, tights, scarves, medical equipment, a huge assortment of reading glasses and sunglasses from dirt cheap to average on the prices. Trust me, this place has it all. If you haven't ever been here you will be pleasantly surprised. I am a frequent customer here. I have to mention too that tqhe employees are always very friendly and cheerful too.

As a Clinical and Holistic Skin Therapist/Herbalist/Nutritionist, I send several people per week I work on to Drug Emporium, if I’m out in my dispensary here for various things, especially: Fulvic Humic Acid, Chloraphyll, Black Seed Oil, Serrapeptase, Nattokinase, Ancient Nutrition (Dr. Axe’s brand;) bone broth/stress pre/probiotics, all kinds of rare to find glass jarred Skin Spray Hydrosols, Colloidal Silver Gel and Oral, quality organic perfumes, plus so much more! I love that they have rare incredible foods/snacks I can’t find around here: delicious and nutritious seaweed snacks, Alden’s organic Ice cream from Oregon🤤, Amazing California organic Olive Oil, etc. They also have an incredible modern jewelry section from my favorite designer (necklaces), beautiful magnetic bracelets for anti-inflammation, some rare pharmaceutical grade medical acne skincare-great for back acne (on the pharmacy side;), some cute home decor items, and so much more! They will order anything you want if they don’t have it-which I love. I also love the Christian music playing pleasantly over the speakers-I find myself humming to it when I’m in there-I appreciate this added bonus. ✨*The only reason I did not give 5 stars, is because the woman over the health supplement department has raised up the prices significantly ($10 in only 4 months 😳), since I’ve been referring so many people to buy certain items that I mentioned at the beginning of this review. That is NOT ok. I was really taken aback about this when my clients/patients were telling me the price increase in the last few months. I realize inflation, but $10 in only 4 months is rediculous, especially when I’m sending SEVERAL people in there to buy local every week.

I was so excited to see so many things I buy in one store. There was only one thing I couldn’t find. I need to go back when I am not limited on time so I can seriously peruse. I highly recommend!

Really enjoy shopping here, great selection of higher end hair care products, great selection of supplements at good prices, and cute and unique finds for gifts and to treat yourself.

Great store. Large selection of medical items and general merchandise. Kind of like a Walgreens or CVS but larger. You should at least visit to see the selection of products.

Good selection of local finds, some unique organic / gluten free choices too. Some prices are a little high, but given it's often the only store with certain hard to find brands or items locally in stock it's usually worth it. Great staff too. A local kept secret overall.

I am crazy about the fragrance selections at this store! They even package small purse sized bottles if you want to test drive a scent! Amazing!!!

Best selection of natural foods in the area. From grass fed beef and poultry to dairy products to anything you need gluten free, or sweetened with stevia, and so much more. We are new to the area and have found our favorite store!

AMAZING place!! I can't believe I live in waco and I hadn't been here before. It has a great selection on pretty much everything. From food, to pharmaceuticals, to hair care products, vitamins, protein shakes, to even some fun home decor. This place has it all. I will definitely be coming back for more.

I can usually find what I'm looking for here. UPDATED REVIEW: Good, large store! I shopped last week for a walker due to a recent fall. What I bought at Drug Emporium was WAY less than it would have been anywhere else. I have always loved this store but I love it even more now. I also received help from a very sweet employee. Thanks to him and this store! I will always trade here.

My husband is gluten free so we shop here for him. I'm not. I don't buy anything for myself in here. He does though.

Time to refill the cupboard with my jellies. Their Blackburn's, texas brand is excellent, the Mason jar mugs that it comes in is a plus. I crave blackberry and this one hits the spot.

Very clean & organized store. The employees are all nice & helpful. I called to inquire about a med & the staff worker went & looked & gave me the prices for them without me even asking & also told me what isle it was on after I told her I was driving from Temple.

Really like this place. It has everything I usually need to go several places to get the various things I need, from did items to personal items, toys, household items. Check it out. Much easier to get to and the store is huge. Bet you'll like it.

Like a place you find special articles from a hometown DRUG store. If they don't have what you need, most times they will direct you or order for you your individual needs❣️Always 'Gluten-free' products and usually friendly pricing... gotta love it❣️

I found the shelves were full of the products I needed and did not have to wait in line to get checked out. The prices were reasonable.

My absolute favorite place to buy natural vitamin supplements. It is a little pricey, but by the time I drive to Austin or college station for what I need, it would be the same. I love the staff. They're knowledgeable and attentive. The cashier was a little bit grouchy and didn't seem happy to be at work that day, but we all have bad days! I'm hoping it got better for her.

It's my favorite organic place to be in! There's more organic stores opening but this includes body & health supplements that work well with many health conditions. I love they also have vegetables & food distributed & grown by local providers. Large freezer & pharmacy & easy return for product satisfaction with credit to store . I enjoy each time as I believe in holistic healing tremendously. Thanks for staying open all these years. Very professional staff always. Versatile availability like Amazon except in my local area.👍
