About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the store closed and only the security guard remained, a mysterious voice began announcing over the intercom: ‘Your prescription is ready for pickup.’ No one knew whose voice it was or why it kept happening. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, confused. ‘Why am I hearing my own medicine being called?’ he asked the guard. Turned out, his dog had been stealing his pills and dialing the store’s number with his paw on the phone!
2. Late one afternoon, as an elderly gentleman browsed through the aisles, he kept noticing that the same box of aspirin seemed to change its price tag every time he looked away. Finally, he asked a clerk if it was possible for prices to fluctuate so rapidly. With a smile, she replied, ‘Sir, those are sample boxes—you’re supposed to take them!’ The old man laughed heartily and walked out, his face red with embarrassment but his day made brighter.
3. In the early morning hours, before the sun rose over Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—and found the shelves glowing softly in the dark. Inside, everything was bathed in an eerie blue light. The delivery driver approached cautiously, noticing that the cash register was ringing up items on its own. A bottle of aspirin asked for ‘one’, and a box of Band-Aids said, 'two please.’ Just then, a voice called out from behind the counter: ‘Hey, you! Stop stealing our inventory!’ Turns out it was just a neighborhood cat playing with the scanner.
4. In the dead of night, when Walgreens should’ve been quiet and empty, a faint humming sound began drifting from the pharmacy shelves. The hum grew louder until it became clear—someone had left the refrigerated medicine cabinet door ajar. A delivery driver, called in the next morning, found everything perfectly fine except for a small army of ants marching out of the air-conditioner vents. The store staff joked that maybe Walgreens was trying to cure ant allergies too.
