About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist raised an eyebrow and asked, 'Is that a potted plant?' The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Sort of… it’s actually a small tree for my office.’ The pharmacist laughed and said, ‘Next time, maybe you should bring flowers instead!’ And so, the story of Walgreens’ unexpected botanical delivery became a neighborhood joke.

2. Late one night, a neighbor was walking home from the park when he heard a strange noise coming from inside Walgreens. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old delivery driver struggling with a box of cough syrup. Turns out, the store had just received a shipment of super-sized bottles, and no one knew how to open them. The neighbor quietly called in reinforcements—another regular who happened to be a mechanic—and together they managed to crack open the bottle, laughing the whole time. Moral of the story: sometimes even pharmacies need help opening their own products.

3. Early in the morning, before the sun had fully risen, a Walgreens employee noticed something peculiar. A small, dusty box sat on the counter, left behind during the night shift. Upon opening it, they found an old photo of a smiling baby with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Found this in your store last week—thanks for taking such good care of it!’ Turned out, someone’s pet turtle had accidentally been brought in. The whole town got a kick out of it.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver approached Walgreens with something wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. The pharmacist glanced suspiciously but took the package anyway. Later that morning, a regular customer asked if they had any aspirin. The pharmacist said, 'We do, sir—just like always.' Only then did he notice the sign on the counter: "Today's Special: Brown Paper Packages, Only $9.99!"
