Why I love Duane Reade

What New Yorker doesn't love Duane Reade? One word to describe why I personally love Duane Reade is "Convenience".  As a native New Yorker who was born and raised in New York City, I have fond memories of shopping at Duane Reade.  I used to love to accompany my mom anytime she had to pick up something at Duane Reade. 
Why?  Simply because mom always let me pick out something for me! 

 

Now as an adult who lives and works in New York City, Duane Reade continues to be  my go to store.  As a woman there have been many moments where for one reason or another I needed to dash across the street, or down the block to Duane Reade. Whether it was to pick up a bottle of nail polish, or polish remover, a new pair of stockings, a comb, some tampons, cold medicine etc. I always find comfort in knowing that no matter where I am I will never be more than a short walk to a Duane Reade store. 

 

I would love to be chosen to be a 2012 Duane Reade blogger simply because I love the store!
