About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and noticed something odd: every time he opened the door, a faint humming sound followed him inside, growing louder with each step. As he walked deeper into the store, the hum became so loud it drowned out all other sounds. Confused but intrigued, the driver approached the counter where an elderly gentleman was checking out. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘do you hear that buzzing?’ The old man looked up and replied calmly, ‘Why yes, sonny, that's just my hearing aid.’

2. In the middle of the night, an alarming message crackled over Walgreens’ intercom: ‘Attention customers—we’ve run out of everything except Band-Aids. Please use them sparingly.’ A delivery driver arrived with a puzzled look on his face and asked, 'What do you mean “Band-Aids only”?' The manager replied, 'Just use your imagination!' And so, for the next few hours, everyone in town used Band-Aids as everything from toothpaste to deodorant—until dawn broke and normal supplies returned.

3. One day, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a young pharmacist found something peculiar on the top shelf: a small, dusty teddy bear wearing a nametag that read ‘Manager’s Special Assistant.’ Curious, she picked it up and noticed it was made of an old-fashioned material. Placing it gently back where she found it, she shrugged and continued her work. Later that week, one of the delivery drivers mentioned seeing a little bear helping out around the store. Everyone laughed it off until they realized the bear had disappeared during the night shift. Since then, some employees claim to see him occasionally, especially when things get hectic—like when a regular comes in asking for his usual prescription without even knowing his name.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Walgreens, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old cash register ringing up imaginary sales. A voice called out, ‘Next in line please!’ Turns out it was just a neighborhood cat playing with the change tray. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking, ‘Walgreens must be open twenty-four paws.’
