About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy’s checkout aisle—a bag of mysterious candies labeled ‘Energy Boosters,’ but with no ingredients listed or price tag. Since then, rumors spread that buying one might grant unexpected energy for the day. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about these magical candies. One afternoon, a delivery driver bought an entire bag and claimed he could now carry twice as many packages up those steep hills without breaking a sweat. The next day, he arrived panting heavily, his cart overflowing with empty boxes—and a new batch of mystery candies.

2. At night, when Walgreens closed its doors, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure stocking shelves from inside the empty pharmacy. Curious, the delivery driver told his colleagues, who decided to check it out together one night. They found nothing but boxes of aspirin and candy bars arranged in perfect order—obviously done by someone’s overactive imagination or an overly enthusiastic neighborhood volunteer.

3. At closing time one day, an employee overheard a strange whisper coming from behind the pharmacy counter—was it just his imagination, or did someone say ‘Don’t miss the midnight sale’? Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw only empty shelves. But then, as he turned back, there stood an elderly lady with a big smile on her face, holding a bag of candy. She whispered, ‘Midnight sales are always sweetest!’ The next morning, everyone found out that the midnight sale was actually a new shipment of lollipops meant for kids' Halloween treats.

4. One afternoon, while waiting for prescriptions, a regular asked Walgreens staff: ‘Do you ever wonder if these bottles could talk?’ A delivery driver chimed in, 'Well, I bet they’d tell some funny stories!' Just then, an old bottle of aspirin rolled off the shelf and whispered, “I’m not feeling so hot today.” Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe those bottles did have something to say after all.
