About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while customers were browsing quietly through aisles, an unexpected announcement came over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention please—your prescription for invisibility is ready!’ A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, rushed to collect his newly invisible package. Outside, a neighbor asked him, 'Is everything okay?' He replied, grinning, 'Never better! Just picked up my new invisibility suit.' The neighbor blinked and said, 'You’re not wearing anything!' The driver laughed, shrugged, and walked off whistling—a regular hero of Walgreens'.}

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a sleepy Walgreens employee heard a strange voice calling from outside. ‘Excuse me,’ said a muffled whisper, ‘can you please check if I left my contact lenses here last night?’ The employee peered through the fog and saw nobody. Curious, she went out back, only to find an old pair of reading glasses on the pavement. She shrugged, picked them up, and placed them carefully inside. Later that day, when an elderly gentleman came in for his daily newspaper, he thanked her warmly for finding his lost specs. It turned out they were indeed his—just misplaced during his morning walk.

3. One day after work, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and asked the cashier, ‘Do you sell stress relief here?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'We’ve got aspirin for headaches, but for real stress relief, try our relaxation CDs!' The delivery driver nodded and said, 'Thanks, I’ll take one.' As he left, a neighbor walked in and asked, 'What’s that CD?' The cashier shrugged, smiling, 'Stress Relief—guaranteed or your money back!'

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Walgreens, he noticed something odd: the faint sound of laughter coming from inside the empty store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old cash register ringing up imaginary sales while a shadowy figure in a lab coat pretended to fill prescriptions. Startled, the delivery driver knocked on the door, causing the ghostly pharmacist to jump and spill virtual pills everywhere. ‘Who’s there?’ asked the startled spirit. With a laugh, the delivery guy replied, “Just a regular trying not to get caught after hours.”
