About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was checking out when he noticed something odd: every Wednesday afternoon, exactly at 3:17 PM, an old man in a tweed suit walked into Walgreens and bought only one thing—a packet of mint candies. No one else ever saw him before or after that moment. Finally, one day a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Sir, why do you buy just those mints every Wednesday?’ The old gentleman smiled enigmatically, took off his glasses, and replied, ‘Because I’m waiting for my long-lost twin brother who loves them too.’ Everyone laughed, including the cashier who had never seen either of them again.

2. At midnight, an anonymous voice crackled over Walgreens’ intercom: ‘To all employees and customers, please be advised that aspirin now cures hangovers.’ The next morning, a regular customer asked the pharmacist, ‘Did you hear what the intercom said last night?’ The pharmacist shrugged, smiling, ‘Nope, but I sold out of aspirin by noon.’

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed a strange sight: a shadowy figure in the parking lot kept whispering into an old walkie-talkie. Curious, the driver parked nearby and heard the voice say, 'Walgreens, tonight is your lucky day!' The delivery driver approached cautiously but saw no one. Suddenly, from inside the store came a muffled voice over another walkie-talkie: ‘Hey, Walgreens, you missed a spot!’ Turns out it was just a neighbor playing pranks on late-night staff. Everyone had a good laugh.

4. In the late hours of one quiet morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something peculiar in the backseat—a small, neatly wrapped package with no return address. Curious, he opened it and found… a bag of groceries for an elderly neighbor who lived nearby! Turns out, another delivery driver had accidentally left them behind. The next day, everyone in town stopped by Walgreens just to say thanks—including the neighbor, who brought along her famous chocolate chip cookies.
