About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd in the pharmacy’s checkout aisle—a small, wrapped package among the tissues and band-aids. Curious, he picked it up, only to discover it contained an old, dusty key. Nobody claimed ownership, and no one seemed to know its origin. Soon enough, everyone in town started dropping by Walgreens just to see if they’d find a mysterious package. One day, a delivery driver found not just a key but also a note reading, ‘To whoever finds me—please return me to Room 421.’ Turns out, it was someone’s long-lost hotel room key. The whole thing became a joke: whenever anyone lost something, they’d say, ‘I must’ve left it at Walgreens!’

2. At closing time one night, an exhausted Walgreens employee locked up and left—only to hear a voice from behind the counter: ‘Hey, you forgot your smile!’ The next morning, everyone in the store was laughing when they found him—still standing behind the counter with a big grin on his face, pretending he hadn’t heard anything. Since then, whenever someone leaves late, they always check if their smile is still there.

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret.’ As he approached the door, he heard a voice whispering from inside: ‘Please hurry… they’re coming!’ The delivery guy opened the door just enough for his head to fit through—and found himself face-to-face with an old pharmacist who whispered back, ‘Don’t worry, sonny, it’s just our nightly game of “Hide and Seek”!’ The next morning, everyone in town knew that Walgreens was home to the world’s most enthusiastic game of hide-and-seek.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, a soft humming sound filled the air—like someone whistling a familiar tune. Curious, he followed the sound inside and found an old man dozing in a chair, gently humming ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turns out, it was Walgreens’ annual tradition of surprising employees on their birthdays with free cake. The delivery driver got his unexpected treat that night, along with a hearty laugh from everyone present.
