About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Walgreens when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The usual hum of customers browsing aisles gave way to hushed whispers and curious glances towards the back room. Curious, he tiptoed closer and saw an elderly gentleman diligently mixing up a batch of cookies for his grandkids’ birthday party. Turns out, it was just another day at Walgreens—where pharmacists bake, too. Everyone burst into laughter, and the morning resumed its usual calm.

2. A customer exclaimed one day, ‘I just bought two aspirin and three band-aids—must be my lucky day!’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, it’s not every day you come here for both.’ Another time, a delivery driver walked in, panting heavily. He asked the pharmacist, 'Got any Band-Aids?' The pharmacist raised an eyebrow and replied, 'Sir, you're sweating like you've been running a marathon!' The driver grinned sheepishly and said, 'Actually, I was.'

3. One night, while closing up, the Walgreens clerk heard a voice over the intercom: 'Attention customers! If you’ve left your lucky underwear here today, please come back tomorrow.' Curious, the next day several people returned with their underwear, claiming they’d found new luck in winning lotteries or getting promotions. The Walgreens clerk smiled and joked that maybe it was time for everyone to invest in some good-luck undies. From then on, whenever someone forgot something, they’d hear the same cheerful announcement: ‘Your lucky socks are waiting!’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into the dimly lit Walgreens, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between shelves. Curious, he followed the shadow until it vanished behind some cough syrup bottles. Just as he turned around, an old lady with a shopping cart chuckled and said, ‘Honey, that’s just our new stock boy playing hide-and-seek.’
