About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when most Walgreens were still closed, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A small bird had flown into the store and was frantically flapping around the aisles. The driver gently scooped up the little fellow and placed him outside, watching as he took off into the early-morning sky. Later that day, a regular customer joked, ‘I guess Walgreens is open for emergencies now—even avian ones!’

2. One day after work, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does every third person in line always seem to forget their wallet?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Because they’re paying with Walgreens Rewards Points!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing it was just another quirky thing about life here.

3. At midnight, when even the night owls had long gone home, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of an empty Walgreens. Suddenly, a faint humming sound came from inside the darkened store. Curious, he crept inside and found an old cash register softly playing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighborhood pharmacist celebrating his own birthday every midnight. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking it might be time for him to get a life as exciting as Walgreens’ after-hours antics.

4. At dusk, while a little girl waited for her mom inside Walgreens, she pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mommy, look! The shelves are dancing!' Her mother smiled gently, leaning down to whisper back, ‘Honey, it’s just the special lighting making them twinkle.’ They both giggled softly as they waited for their turn at the counter, unaware that outside, an exhausted delivery driver was muttering to himself, ‘I’ve seen some strange things in my time, but tonight… tonight is really something!’
