About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you sell rainbows here?’ He pointed at the sky, where a giant, multicolored arc had appeared over the store. The pharmacist looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. 'No, we don't,' he said, pointing towards the candy aisle. 'But we do have some pretty good gumballs!' The delivery driver shook his head and drove off, muttering something about people needing better weather forecasts.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a box of unusual size. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist whispered to an assistant: 'I hope it's not what I think it is.' Finally, the assistant opened the box and exclaimed, ‘It’s just another shipment of those giant marshmallow peeps for Easter!’ The pharmacist laughed and said, ‘Well, better safe than sorry.’

3. At night, while closing up shop, an employee heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the medicine cabinets. Curious but cautious, they opened one drawer—and found rows upon rows of tiny, glowing pills. Intrigued and slightly nervous, the worker took out a pill, which hovered in midair for a moment before gently landing on their hand. It glowed softly, like a miniature lantern. Turns out it was just a new batch of emergency light-up vitamins for kids—a clever marketing gimmick, everyone later agreed with a laugh.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Walgreens, he noticed something peculiar: a soft, rhythmic tapping sound seemed to be coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man carefully arranging pencils in alphabetical order by color. ‘Excuse me,’ asked the driver, ‘is there a sale on organized chaos tonight?’ The man looked up with a smile and replied, ‘No, but it’s good exercise for my mind.’
