About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a truckload of medicine. As he stepped out, something strange happened: every time he tried to close the door, it inexplicably opened again. Finally, a kind pharmacist appeared and asked what was going on. With a tired smile, the driver explained that maybe his keys had a mind of their own. The pharmacist shook his head and said, ‘No, sir—your truck is just trying to get in on the action.’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a truckload of groceries for the store’s late-night stockroom. As he approached the door, he heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, all customers and employees—our new self-checkout aisle is now open!’ Curious, the driver walked towards the empty aisle. To his surprise, there was indeed a brand-new self-checkout lane, complete with glowing screens and barcode scanners. He scanned the first item—a bag of chips—and watched in amusement as the machine beeped happily and printed out a receipt reading: ‘Thank you for shopping at Walgreens! Have a great night!’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off into the quiet streets, wondering if anyone else had noticed the magical self-checkout aisle that only worked for groceries delivered after midnight.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a truckload of ice cream. As he walked in, a regular asked him if he could get some Advil—because apparently, eating too much ice cream can be painful. The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘No problem!’ He quickly filled the prescription then went back outside. Just as he was loading the bags into his truck, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked for aspirin. Turns out she’d been up all night making ice cream sandwiches for everyone on her block.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a truckload of glowing packages. As he stepped inside, the store clerk whispered, ‘I thought you’d never come back.’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously and asked what he meant. The clerk just smiled mysteriously and pointed towards the stockroom. Moments later, the driver emerged holding a bag filled with glow-in-the-dark stickers, explaining it was his kid’s birthday party supplies. Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone ordered something unusual late at night, they joked that Walgreens must be delivering magic.
