About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens late one night, a delivery driver whispered, ‘I just saw an old lady pull a bottle of aspirin out of thin air.’ Curious, he approached her, and she smiled sweetly, saying, 'Just helping myself to some extra sleep aids.' Turns out, it was National Sleep Aid Week at Walgreens.

2. At Walgreens, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever notice how some people buy exactly what they need and leave?’ The cashier shrugged, curious. Finally, the cashier said with a smile, ‘Actually, sir, that’s because they work here.’ A delivery driver nodded knowingly from behind his carton of deliveries.

3. At Walgreens, a customer asked the pharmacist, ‘Why do they always put aspirin behind the counter? Is it so no one can buy it without asking?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘No, sir. We keep it there because every time someone asks for aspirin, we get a free advertisement for our store!’ A regular customer chuckled and said, ‘I’ll take two then—one for pain relief, and one for your excellent marketing strategy.’

4. At Walgreens, a delivery driver found himself staring at a shopping cart filled with nothing but packets of sugar. Whoever left it must’ve had quite the sweet tooth! Confused and amused, the driver called his manager. It turned out that an elderly gentleman living nearby often forgot where he parked his car. He’d leave his shopping cart behind, fill it with sugars for his tea, and then wander off, never realizing what he’d done. Since then, everyone at Walgreens calls him ‘Mr. Sweet Tooth’.
