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 strange. The usually bustling aisles were empty, and the soft hum of the air conditioning seemed eerily loud. As he approached the backroom, he heard a voice whispering from behind the shelves. Curious, the delivery driver followed the voice until he found an old man rearranging bottles with meticulous care. ‘I’m just helping out,’ whispered the senior, noticing him for the first time. ‘This place is always such a mess.’ With that, they both laughed, and soon enough, the store was buzzing again—just another day at Walgreens, where neighbors help each other out.

2. It was a typical Wednesday afternoon in Walgreens when a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from the backroom. Curious, he peered inside and found a cash register playing old-timey jazz tunes on repeat. The delivery driver grinned, thinking it must be some prank by a regular customer. He walked up to the counter, pressed a button, and suddenly the cash register started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a scratchy voice. Everyone burst out laughing, including the befuddled manager who thought it was his own birthday. The whole store ended up celebrating with free candy for everyone that day.

3. A delivery driver was putting away boxes one day when he overheard an elderly gentleman muttering, ‘I don’t know why they changed the location of that aisle… it used to be right here!’ The delivery driver smiled and thought, ‘Oh well, maybe next time I’ll take a stroll down memory lane too.’ He finished his work and went outside, where an old man was pushing a shopping cart full of familiar products. With a wave, he said, “Same aisle, different decade, mate!”

4. A delivery driver was stocking shelves late one night when he heard someone whisper, ‘Hey, do you think they sell moonlight here?’ Curious, he looked around and saw nobody. Then, from behind a shelf came a soft voice: 'I’m talking to you!' Turns out it was just an old man with a telescope, asking if Walgreens sold stargazing supplies. The delivery driver laughed and pointed him towards the astronomy section.
