About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a quiet corner of Walgreens, an elderly gentleman noticed something peculiar one morning. As he waited in line for his usual prescription, he spied a small package wrapped in brown paper on the counter. Curious, he asked the pharmacist if it belonged to anyone. The pharmacist shook her head and shrugged, clearly perplexed. Turns out, nobody claimed it. So, with a twinkle in his eye, the old man picked up the package and said, ‘Well, I guess it’s mine now!’ He opened it to find a fresh box of cookies inside—obviously meant as a thank-you gift from some anonymous neighbor. Everyone laughed, including the pharmacist who later admitted she’d done it herself.

2. In a small town in Texas, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens parking lot one afternoon. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd sitting next to the dumpster—a brightly colored umbrella with a handwritten note attached. Curious, he picked it up and read: 'If you find this umbrella, bring it back to Walgreens—someone left it here.' The driver shrugged, smiled, and decided to keep it for himself. A few days later, while unpacking groceries at home, he accidentally knocked over a glass of water on his neighbor’s freshly polished floor. Apologizing profusely, he offered an apology gift: the colorful umbrella. His neighbor looked puzzled but accepted it graciously, remarking, 'Oh, that’s ours!'

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens and was startled by a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing around behind the counter, humming merrily to himself. Turns out, it was just the pharmacist celebrating his birthday with some late-night grooves. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about ‘odd neighbors.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens and found the parking lot illuminated by an unusual glow. Curious, he approached the entrance only to see a neon sign blinking oddly: ‘Open for midnight emergencies.’ As he entered, the delivery driver noticed a kindly pharmacist behind the counter humming softly to himself while mixing some medicine. The pharmacist looked up with a smile and said, 'Welcome! Just in time—we’ve got everything you could possibly need for that late-night emergency!' The driver left with a laugh, thinking it was the strangest yet friendliest Walgreens he'd ever visited.
