About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while waiting for his prescription, a regular noticed something strange on the shelf: a small package labeled ‘Emergency Kit’ that seemed to change prices every hour. Curious, he decided to check it out later. That evening, as he walked past Walgreens again, he saw an old neighbor buying the same mysterious kit. Turning around, they both laughed and exchanged stories—turns out the price was just reflecting the time of day, like some quirky in-house promotion. Moral of the story? Sometimes even pharmacies have their own sense of humor.

2. At closing time one Friday, an employee locked up Walgreens and headed home. The next morning, he found a mysterious note stuck inside the door: ‘Open early today—someone needs your help.’ He opened the store early, only to discover that a neighborhood cat had mistaken the unlocked door for its shortcut to freedom. By the time everyone arrived, the little furball was fast asleep on the counter, surrounded by packets of tissues and candy bars.

3. In the late afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to unload packages, he noticed something peculiar in the back of the van—a small plastic baggie had fallen out and rolled under the shelves. Curious, he bent down to pick it up but found instead an old, dusty photo album from the 1980s. As he flipped through the pages, he stumbled upon a faded picture of two smiling kids playing near a fountain. Smiling, he thought aloud, ‘Who knows whose memories these are?’ Just then, an elderly woman approached him, asking if she could help with anything. Turning around, he sheepishly explained his discovery, and together they found the rightful owner—an adorable little girl who recognized her family photos instantly.’}

4. In the early morning hours, as a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a truck full of goods, he heard someone whispering from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man rearranging shelves, muttering about how everything was in the wrong place. The driver smiled, shook his head, and quietly closed the door. That’s why,” he told his friends later that day, “you never leave your shift early—someone might still be working!”}
