About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an ordinary Walgreens pharmacy, a regular customer noticed something peculiar one day. As he approached the counter, his small dog began barking furiously at nothing in particular—straight ahead of them stood an empty shelf. The pharmacist looked puzzled and asked if everything was okay. The man shrugged, then pointed out that the dog seemed fixated on the exact spot where a new shipment of treats had been supposed to arrive earlier that morning. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver taking a break, leaning against the empty shelf—and the dog thought he was a giant treat himself! Everyone laughed, including the befuddled delivery guy who quickly scurried off with his head down.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the back door of Walgreens. He noticed a shadowy figure moving inside, and as he approached, heard soft laughter echoing from within. Curious, the driver peeked through the window and saw an old man dancing around with a bottle of aspirin, humming some tune. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver gently, ‘are you okay?’ The man turned, startled, then broke into a smile. ‘Just getting my daily rhythm going!’ he replied cheerfully. The driver shook his head and walked away, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll deliver at midnight.’

3. In a small town, a little girl walked into her local Walgreens with her mom. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mom, look! Is that a bird?’ The mother looked up and giggled. ‘No sweetie,’ she said gently, ‘that’s just Mr. Johnson, our friendly neighborhood pharmacist, waving hello.’ The little girl nodded knowingly, then ran over to give Mr. Johnson a big hug, much to everyone’s amusement.

4. At midnight, when even the night owls were asleep, a delivery truck pulled up to the Walgreens. The moonlight reflected off its silver paintjob, making it look like a ghostly apparition. The driver opened the back door, and out stepped a sleepy-looking aardvark wearing pajamas and carrying a teddy bear. ‘What on earth?’ whispered an amazed pharmacist. The aardvark yawned and said, “Just here for some late-night aspirin.” And with that, he shuffled back into his truck and drove away, leaving everyone laughing.
