About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the parking lot, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw something unusual: the shelves seemed to sway gently, as if they were dancing to some invisible music. The driver grinned, thinking maybe the store had hired a secret DJ for inventory time. He opened the door cautiously, only to be greeted by a wave of old-fashioned pop music. Turns out, one of the neighbors had accidentally left their radio on full blast in the pharmacy’s storage room. Everyone got a good laugh that day—except perhaps the poor delivery guy who had to clean up all those dancing bottles.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet and empty, an old man began visiting Walgreens every day. He would enter, take one aspirin, then leave without saying a word. One morning, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, do you even need aspirin?’ The old man just nodded and left. Months later, everyone knew his routine—until one day he forgot his glasses at Walgreens. A kind neighbor returned them with a note: “Next time, bring your specs!” Ever since then, our friendly old gentleman has been popping in for both medicine and a chat.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a little girl walked into Walgreens with her mother’s handbag. When she picked up a tube of lipstick, the mirror above it suddenly lit up with a message: ‘Today is your lucky day!’ As she looked closer, the message changed: 'Buy anything worth over $5 and get 10% off!' The girl quickly grabbed some chewing gum and candy, then ran to the counter. The cashier smiled and said, 'What a lucky kid!' Turned out, it was just Walgreens’ daily sale sign—only the mirror decided to give an extra surprise.

4. In the middle of the night, a sleepy delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens, muttering under his breath, ‘I’ll be done in five minutes.’ Little did he know that the store’s neon sign had other plans. All of a sudden, the sign switched from ‘OPEN’ to ‘CLOSED,’ and the delivery guy found himself stuck outside with a carton of expired milk. A groggy neighbor appeared, rubbing her eyes and asked, ‘Did you forget something?’ He just shrugged and said, ‘Probably…’
