About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with an urgent package. As he stepped inside, he noticed something strange: every time he looked in the mirror behind the counter, his reflection seemed to be wearing a different shirt. Confused and amused, he asked the pharmacist, who just shrugged and said, ‘Oh yeah, that’s Mr. Johnson from down the street—he comes in here every day.’ The driver left, shaking his head, wondering if maybe he was seeing things…or if Walgreens had some kind of secret costume closet for customers.

2. In a small town in the Midwest, after dark, a little girl pointed excitedly at something on the shelf of her local Walgreens. ‘Mom,’ she whispered, ‘what’s that?’ Her mother looked and saw nothing unusual—a row of ordinary bottles. ‘Oh, honey,’ her mom smiled, ‘that’s just an old bottle of cough syrup.’ The girl tilted her head curiously. ‘But Mom, it looks like a spaceship!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked by and laughed, saying, “It’s not a spaceship, sweetie—it’s just Walgreens being creative with their labels.”

3. In a quiet neighborhood of Chicago, a regular stopped for his morning coffee at Walgreens. As he waited in line, he noticed something peculiar—a strange box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string, had appeared on the counter next to the cash register. The curious customer asked the clerk about it, but no one seemed to notice or care. Finally, an elderly delivery driver mentioned offhand that it was probably just some old lady’s forgotten package. The regular laughed it off and left, only to bump into his neighbor later that day—who happened to be that very same old lady, casually mentioning she’d been meaning to return her package to Walgreens.

4. On a stormy midnight, a lone figure rushed into Walgreens, clutching a dripping umbrella and muttering something about forgotten prescriptions. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded, reaching for the rain-soaked envelope. 'Forgotten again?' he asked with a smile. The customer shrugged sheepishly, pulling out another soggy slip of paper from their pocket. 'Just wanted to be prepared,' they explained, earning a chuckle from both the pharmacist and a passing delivery driver who overheard the exchange.
