About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Walgreens is usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The shelves were perfectly organized—except for one aisle where everything was arranged alphabetically, even the candy bars. Curious, he asked around, and soon learned that an elderly pharmacist, who had retired years ago, used to come by every morning before sunrise. He’d quietly tidy up and organize things just for fun. Now, whenever someone mentions it, everyone smiles and says, ‘That’s Mr. Johnson’s little secret.’

2. Late one night, while stocking shelves, an overnight clerk heard whispers coming from behind the counter. Curious but cautious, she peered around and saw nothing. Only an empty bottle of aspirin seemed out of place. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Aspirin’s on sale today!’ Startled, the clerk turned back just in time to see the bottle disappear into thin air. From then on, whenever inventory got low, everyone knew who to blame—‘It must be that mischievous ghostly pharmacist!’

3. In the early morning, as the sun began to rise, an elderly gentleman entered the Walgreens and asked the pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Do you have any special elixirs for good luck?’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly and replied, 'We have just what you're looking for!' He reached under the counter and pulled out a bottle labeled 'Lucky Charms.' The old man laughed heartily, shook hands with the pharmacist, and left, muttering something about needing more of those on St. Patrick's Day. As he walked away, the pharmacist turned to the next customer—a delivery driver—with a twinkle in his own eye.

4. In the middle of the night, as Walgreens’ parking lot lay empty, a delivery truck pulled in for its routine delivery. Among the usual boxes and packages, the driver spotted something peculiar—a small, dusty teddy bear sitting alone on the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a tiny note attached: ‘Please return to Mrs. Johnson’s house.’ The next morning, a regular customer asked if they had found a lost teddy bear. Turns out, it was his granddaughter’s toy.
