About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of Walgreens, he heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucer to aisle three.’ Curious, the driver found an old toy saucer on the shelf and placed it there. Later that evening, his neighbor popped in for some medicine and asked if they had any flying saucers left. The pharmacist smiled and said, 'We sold our last one earlier today.' The neighbor laughed and replied, 'I meant the kind you fly!'

2. One morning, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Do you have any special elixir for forgetting where I parked my car?’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly and replied, 'Sir, I can recommend our memory pill—it works wonders!' The old man laughed heartily, shook his head, and said, 'No, no—I'm talking about my car.'

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are just opening their doors, a young intern arrived early for her shift. As she unlocked the front door, she noticed something odd—an old man had been waiting there since the night before. She approached him curiously, and he smiled warmly, handing over a small envelope. ‘Just wanted to say thanks,’ he whispered. Inside was a single rose and a note that read: “For keeping our little Walgreens tradition alive.” Turns out, it was an annual ritual from a regular customer who always showed up at sunrise.

4. At midnight, when even Walgreens seems asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. As he unlocked the door, a faint humming sound filled the air—coming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door just enough for a peek. Inside, amidst the quiet, stood an old cash register softly chiming, as if counting invisible coins. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was some quirky store ghost, and went on his way. But ever since then, locals claim that late-night shoppers can still hear the gentle ringing of pennies in the empty aisles of Walgreens.
