About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog, when most Walgreens were still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. A small, dusty old man kept appearing at the counter, asking for Band-Aids and cough drops in hushed tones. No one else could see him, but every time the store closed, he vanished into thin air. Finally, the delivery driver decided to follow him one foggy night. The old man led him to an alley where a tiny door appeared out of nowhere. Inside was a cozy room filled with boxes upon boxes of medicine. The old man smiled and said, ‘Thank you for believing.’ Then, as quickly as he came, he disappeared, leaving behind only a single box of freshly wrapped candy—an anonymous gift from Walgreens’ secret supplier.

2. In the dim light of an early-morning Walgreens, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small child, wide-eyed and pointing, stared at the shelves as if they held not medicine but magical candies. The delivery driver leaned in closer, trying to see what had captured the kid’s attention. It turned out to be nothing more than a box of colorful cough drops. With a smile, the driver picked up one himself, popped it into his mouth, and pretended to dance like a wizard. The child burst out laughing, and soon both were giggling together in the quiet pharmacy.

3. At dawn, when the neighborhood Walgreens was just opening its doors, a delivery driver found himself locked inside. Inside, he discovered that someone had mistakenly left the door unlocked overnight. With the sunrise, the store’s alarm went off, attracting curious neighbors who gathered outside, laughing and taking photos of the hapless driver trapped within. Eventually, a manager arrived and let him out, promising never again to leave the door ajar—especially not during a deliveryman's early-morning rounds.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the lights were dimming, a delivery driver whispered into the empty aisle: ‘I think I saw someone stocking shelves without a mask.’ Suddenly, an old lady in a wheelchair appeared from behind the counter, waving her cane: 'Oh, don't worry, honey,' she smiled. 'It's just my granddaughter helping out.' The delivery driver scratched his head, relieved but embarrassed. 'Guess I'll get going then...' he muttered as he backed out of the store, muttering about Walgreens' mysterious employees.
