About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was closing, an old lady would often stop by the Walgreens on her way home. One evening, she noticed that the shelves seemed to move ever so slightly as if something small were scurrying around inside. Curious, she followed the movement until she saw a tiny hamster running in circles behind the counter. The next day, the pharmacist told her it was their new mascot, and everyone laughed. From then on, customers would come just to see the little guy racing after his ball.

2. In the early morning hours, just as the Walgreens employee was locking up for the night, he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Don’t forget your umbrella!’ Curious, he pressed the intercom button and replied, 'Who’s there?' A soft female voice answered, 'Just an old lady who forgot her umbrella in the store.' The next day, everyone in town saw an elderly woman standing outside Walgreens with a big smile on her face, holding a colorful umbrella.

3. In the late afternoon, when the sun was setting behind the pharmacy shelves, customers started noticing something odd. A small dog would appear, trotting into the parking lot and darting towards the entrance of Walgreens. Every time it reached the door, it would pause, look up at the sign above, then turn around and run back out, clearly puzzled. Finally, an old lady approached the counter and asked the pharmacist, ‘Is that little dog yours?’ The pharmacist shook his head. Then a delivery driver piped up, ‘No ma’am, but I bet he’s trying to tell us Walgreens has the best treats!’ Everyone laughed as the dog trotted off, tail wagging, leaving everyone with a smile.

4. In the late afternoon, when the sun was setting behind the pharmacy shelves, customers noticed something unusual. A small dog would dash into the parking lot, sniffing frantically around the Walgreens entrance. Each time it approached the door, the automatic glass doors would inexplicably open wide, allowing the little pooch inside. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a mischievous smile. ‘I brought him some treats,’ he said, and out popped a tiny puppy from his truck. The dog became an unofficial mascot, greeting every customer with wagging tail and friendly bark. Soon, Walgreens earned a new nickname—‘Paws & Drugs’—and everyone agreed that sometimes, life’s best prescriptions come in furry packages.
