About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young pharmacist noticed an odd item among the boxes of aspirin and band-aids—a tiny wooden carving of a walrus wearing glasses. No one claimed it, so he placed it on display near the checkout counter. Soon enough, customers started asking if they could buy it or even adopt it as their lucky charm. Before long, Walgreens became famous for its talking walrus figurine. Every day, people would stop by just to hear its witty advice on health and happiness. Even the night-shift delivery driver swore by it, saying it helped him navigate through the city streets without getting lost. The only downside? It had a strong preference for peanut butter sandwiches.

2. At dawn, when most Walgreens are quiet and empty, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. The label read simply: ‘For Pharmacist Only.’ The pharmacist opened it curiously—inside was a bag of donuts and a note that said, ‘Thanks for always being here.’ It turned out to be a surprise from a neighbor who knew how much he loved pastries.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom, he heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old radio buried under some boxes. Turned out it was playing a classic rock station on loop since the 80s. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh when they saw the delivery guy dancing around with headphones on.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom, he heard a voice whisper: ‘Watch out for that box of Band-Aids—it’s cursed!’ Curious, the driver opened the box and found only ordinary Band-Aids inside. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the counter and said, ‘Ah, you’re the one who heard the curse? Don’t worry, it was just our new employee playing a prank.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it had been a harmless practical joke.
