About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Walgreens and calmly approached the counter. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘could you please tell me what time it is?’ The cashier looked up from her register with a smile: ‘It’s 9:30 am.’ The man nodded thoughtfully and replied, ‘Thank you very much!’ Then he left without buying anything. Later that day, a delivery driver asked the cashier if she recognized the old gentleman. With a twinkle in her eye, she smiled and said, 'Oh yes, he came back around noon. When I told him it was 12:15, he thanked me again and left!'

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd in the backseat—a small brown envelope marked with an old address. Curious, he took it inside. Inside, he found a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Please deliver these to Mr. Johnson at 34 Maple Street.’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘Who’s Mr. Johnson anyway?’ Later that day, while stocking shelves, he overheard two neighbors discussing their new garden club meeting place—right next door at 34 Maple Street. Turns out, someone had accidentally left behind an invitation!’

3. A young mom was rushing through Walgreens, pushing her toddler in a stroller. ‘Hurry up!’ she said impatiently. Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her: “Ma’am, your little one is trying to push the shopping cart!” The mom turned around with a smile and apologized. The voice belonged to an elderly gentleman who gently took the baby’s hand away from the cart handle. ‘No worries,’ he said kindly, ‘just wanted to help.’ As they walked past him, the old man winked at the baby, causing both mother and child to burst into laughter. That simple moment made their busy day feel a bit brighter.

4. A neighborhood kid was practicing his magic tricks after school, performing for anyone who stopped by. One day he waved his wand inside Walgreens and announced, 'Now everyone will see rainbows!' Suddenly, customers started seeing colorful arches floating around the aisles. A delivery driver looked puzzled, then laughed, saying, ‘I’ll take that as a sign I’m not late today!’ The kid grinned sheepishly but had fun watching everyone’s reactions until an employee gently reminded him it was time to go home.
