About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A lone shopping cart rolled down the aisle, its wheels clicking softly on the linoleum floor. Curious, he followed it around corners until it stopped outside the break room. Inside lay an old teddy bear wearing a nametag that read ‘Property of Mrs. Johnson.’ Turning to his coworker, he joked, ‘Guess someone forgot their cuddly friend again.’ They both laughed, realizing that maybe, just maybe, Walgreens had its own secret customer—an elderly neighbor who left her bear behind every morning.'

2. In the early morning, before customers even thought of visiting, an overnight stocker found something peculiar in one of the aisles. A small, neatly wrapped package sat on a shelf, labeled simply with a handwritten note: ‘For the next person who needs a smile.’ Curious, he picked it up and noticed that inside was just a tiny packet of candy. Smiling, he placed it back where he found it, thinking maybe someone else needed a little pick-me-up that day. Later, when an elderly lady came in for her daily medication, she spotted the same package smilingly waiting for her. She laughed, thanked him warmly, and said, 'God bless you, my dear.' And from then on, every night, more little packages appeared—chocolate kisses, jellybeans, or even a single flower—for anyone who might need a smile.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an overnight stocker heard a voice whispering, ‘Don’t forget to check the freezer.’ Curious, he went to investigate and found only one ice cream cone half-melted on the shelf. A voice chuckled softly behind him: ‘Forgotten treat for the night shift?’ The stocker smiled, realizing it was just an old delivery driver’s prank. From then on, everyone brought their own snacks.’

4. At midnight, when the streets were deserted, a night security guard saw something strange outside the pharmacy's loading dock. Suddenly, he noticed a shadow moving around the boxes. Curious, the guard approached and found… an oversized cat trying to fit through the delivery door. The animal looked confused but not alarmed, so the guard gently ushered it inside and called his supervisor in the morning. Turns out, the cat was just a neighborhood stray who thought Walgreens was a cozy place for late-night adventures.
