About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed and Walgreens was quiet, a strange voice would come over the intercom: ‘Remember to take your vitamins today.’ Employees heard it too, but no one ever saw who was speaking. One day, an old lady came in for her medicine. She asked the pharmacist, ‘Who’s been talking on that intercom?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Oh, don’t worry—just our friendly neighborhood ghost making sure everyone takes their vitamins!’

2. Have you ever noticed how sometimes things disappear from Walgreens just before closing time? A delivery driver once swore he saw an entire shelf of aspirin vanish into thin air right after he left. A few days later, a regular customer claimed she found those missing aspirin hidden behind the counter during her morning coffee break. The store manager joked that maybe they were on strike for better working conditions. Ever since then, whenever someone asks where something went, everyone just smiles and says, ‘Ask the aspirin union!’

3. Have you ever wondered why the same box of Band-Aids always seems to be out of stock right after someone gets hurt? It turns out that a neighborhood kid had been sneaking into the back room and secretly replacing empty boxes with full ones—just because he liked helping people feel better! So whenever anyone needed band-aids in a pinch, they’d get a surprise visit from our little helper.

4. Late one afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked into Walgreens with a peculiar smile on his face. As he approached the counter, he whispered something to the cashier that no one else could hear. The cashier raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Moments later, the old man left with a small package and a satisfied look. A few days passed before anyone noticed that all the store’s pens were mysteriously writing in gold ink. When asked about it, the manager smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Oh, that was just our regular customer testing out his latest invention.’
