About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an ordinary Walgreens in a quiet neighborhood, customers often noticed something peculiar late at night. A regular would arrive on his bicycle, carrying a large bag of groceries. As he walked towards the entrance, his dog started barking furiously at nothing—until it saw the empty space where the pharmacy’s old soda machine used to stand. Finally, one evening, the regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Is that dog always going to bark at thin air?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Oh no, he just misses our old soda machine. We replaced it with a new one last week.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll have to bring him here more often for treats!’

2. In a sleepy town, a regular customer at the local Walgreens kept noticing strange items appearing on the shelves—like vintage board games from the ’80s or boxes of cereal with outdated logos. No one seemed to notice but him. One day, he found an old tube of toothpaste labeled ‘Super Fresh Mint’—it was so nostalgic that he bought it. When he got home, his neighbor popped over and asked what he’d picked up. With a smile, our hero proudly showed off his treasure, only for the neighbor to exclaim, ‘That’s been discontinued since 1995!’ Turned out, everyone else had seen those oddities too—and enjoyed them just as much.

3. In a small town, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens one foggy morning. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he heard a familiar voice calling out: 'Hey, you forgot your smile!' The delivery driver turned around, expecting to see someone joking with him. But there was no one—just an empty parking lot shrouded in mist. Smiling to himself, he finished unloading and entered the store. Later that day, as he drove home, he noticed an old neighbor waving cheerfully from her porch. ‘Hey,’ she called, ‘did you forget your smile again?’

4. In a cozy suburban street, every morning after breakfast, little Timmy would rush to the corner Walgreens for his daily treat. One day, he noticed that the store’s clock seemed to run backwards when no one was looking. Finally, curious Timmy followed the clock’s strange rhythm behind the counter and found an old man dozing off with a newspaper. ‘Sir,’ whispered Timmy, ‘your watch is running backward!’ The man yawned, stretched, and replied sleepily, ‘Oh, that? It’s just my Walgreens time machine—never works right.’
