About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed an unusual item in the shopping cart of another customer—a small plastic dinosaur that kept chirping ‘I love Walgreens!’ every time someone pushed it. No one could figure out whose it was or why anyone would buy such a thing. Soon enough, everyone started bringing their own talking dinosaurs into Walgreens. The store manager even began offering them as promotional giveaways. It became a quirky tradition until one day, a delivery driver accidentally left his real pet parrot behind with a similar toy habit—‘I love Walgreens,’ it squawked non-stop, causing quite the amusing commotion.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed something odd: a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside. Curious, he tiptoed inside and found an elderly pharmacist humming softly as she prepared a batch of chocolate chip cookies for her granddaughter next shift. ‘I must be dreaming,’ thought the driver, but when he took a cookie, it was warm and fresh. With a smile, the pharmacist said, “They’re on the house—just don’t tell anyone!”

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a sleep-deprived pharmacist stocked shelves while humming softly to himself. Suddenly, he spotted something peculiar nestled among the aspirin bottles—a tiny, handwritten sign that read: ‘Free samples inside for anyone who can solve this riddle.’ Curious, our pharmacist approached the note and saw that it was signed simply, 'A night owl.' He solved the riddle, claimed his free sample—an oddly delicious chocolate bar—and left with a smile. Since then, whenever someone asks about those mysterious midnight deliveries, everyone in town just shrugs and says, 'Probably Walgreens' secret midnight candy runs.'

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed something odd: a small, glowing orb rolling down the aisle towards the pharmacy counter. Curious, he followed it to the counter where an old lady was paying for her medicine. ‘Ma’am,’ he said, pointing at the orb, ‘you dropped your prescription.’ She looked down, smiled, and replied, ‘Oh no, dear, that’s just my little helper who reminds me when to take my pills!’
