About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens are still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange: a small, old dog would always appear just before sunrise and sit outside the pharmacy's entrance. Curious, he approached the dog and gave him some water. From then on, every morning without fail, the same little canine friend would greet the delivery man with a wagging tail. Eventually, it became a friendly routine until one day, the driver saw the dog sitting there alone. Turned out, his neighbor had taken him in for breakfast. The moral of the story? Even dogs know that Walgreens opens early, but they don’t mind waiting for a free snack from next door.

2. After hours, when only the night shift pharmacist remained, an automated voice announced over the PA: ‘Please be advised that our aspirin is now also effective against hangovers.’ One evening, a sleepy delivery driver asked for help with his headache. The night-shift pharmacist quipped, 'Just take two aspirin and call me in the morning.' As the driver left, he heard the PA announce: 'And remember, if you feel drowsy after taking our aspirin, that's just because it's working!'

3. In the early morning, before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and saw something odd: the neon sign blinked on for just a second, then went dark again—on its own. Curious, he peered inside through the window and noticed an old man in a bathrobe fiddling with the wires. Turns out, the neighbor had been trying to fix his own alarm clock—and accidentally hit the power switch on Walgreens’ sign. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was another quirky neighborhood story.

4. In the early morning, before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and found the door ajar. ‘What’s going on here?’ he muttered, stepping inside. Inside, everything was quiet as a mouse. The driver called out, but no one answered. Then, from behind the counter, a sleepy pharmacist yawned and stretched, saying, 'Morning already? I thought I’d slept in!' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Another day, another Walgreens surprise.’
