About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does that delivery driver always wave at me from across the street?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘He’s not waving at you—he’s just checking if your prescription is ready!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Oh, I see now—thanks for clearing that up!’

2. One morning, a regular heard an unusual announcement over Walgreens’ intercom: ‘Attention please—if you see someone wearing a red shirt and carrying a bag of chips, do not engage in conversation.’ Curious, the man watched for days until one afternoon he saw a delivery driver wearing a red shirt approaching with a bag of chips. Smiling mischievously, he walked up and asked, 'Excuse me, are those Doritos?' The driver nodded sheepishly. 'Then I guess it's okay if I talk to you,' the regular replied, breaking into laughter as they chatted away happily.

3. One afternoon, while stocking shelves, a young employee found something peculiar in a box of aspirin bottles—a tiny note reading: ‘Take one if you’re stressed.’ The curious worker took it as a sign and popped the pill. Soon enough, he felt an unexpected calm wash over him. Over the next few days, more notes appeared—‘Sleep well,’ ‘Feel happy today,’ and even ‘Win the lottery!’ Eventually, a delivery driver noticed the trend and asked for some himself. Word spread quietly among neighbors who began dropping by Walgreens just for the little messages. Before long, customers started leaving their own notes behind, creating a unique tradition of kindness and small surprises.

4. One night, a delivery driver noticed something odd inside a package he was unloading from the truck. As he opened it, he found a small, handwritten note that read: 'For your next customer.' Curious, he placed it on the counter, and the very next person who walked in received exactly what was described. Word quickly spread among locals, and soon everyone started dropping off little notes with requests for their neighbors. One day, an elderly lady asked for ‘something sweet’—and the next morning, there was a box of her favorite cookies left anonymously outside Walgreens' door. It became a quirky tradition until one fateful day when someone requested: “A gallon of milk…for the guy who keeps forgetting.”
