About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed and the last customer left, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift from behind the shelves. A delivery driver first noticed it, but no one else could ever hear it again. Curious, the delivery driver mentioned it to a regular customer who happened to be an old radio repairman. The next day, he brought his tools and fixed an ancient speaker hidden in the stockroom. Turned out, it was just an old alarm clock playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on loop since the store’s anniversary.

2. At closing time, an anonymous voice began whispering over the intercom: ‘Last one out of Walgreens, please lock the door… and take two aspirin.’ Finally, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What the heck are you talking about?’ The voice replied softly, ‘Just making sure everyone gets their daily dose of aspirin before leaving.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another late-night Walgreens prank.

3. Late at night, after everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he parked his truck outside Walgreens, he heard a faint echo of footsteps inside the empty pharmacy. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure rummaging in the shelves. Turned out it was just an old man looking for aspirin. The delivery driver knocked gently on the glass, and they both laughed nervously. ‘I’ll leave you my number,’ said the driver, ‘in case you ever get lost again.’

4. Late on a stormy night, as lightning flickered through the sky outside, a lone delivery driver approached Walgreens. The rain pounded against the roof, but inside everything seemed eerily quiet—too quiet for such a busy pharmacy. Just then, an old lady shuffled in, asking for band-aids. As the delivery guy reached for them, he accidentally knocked over a box of glow sticks. Suddenly, the entire store lit up like a neon parade, startling everyone—and making the old lady laugh so hard she forgot why she came in the first place. The end.
