About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular customer complained one day, ‘Why does it always rain just when I’m buying sunscreen?’ Soon enough, an elderly delivery driver overheard and chuckled, saying, ‘Well, maybe that’s Walgreens’ secret formula—cloud deterrent for our best-selling sunscreen!’ Everyone in line burst into laughter, including the perplexed cashier who’d never heard such a thing before. The regular shook his head with a smile, realizing sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
2. At Walgreens in downtown Chicago, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the pharmacist with a straight face: 'Do you have any hair of the dog that’s not expired?' The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘We’ve got plenty of it, but only for sale.’ The old man nodded wisely, paid for his bottle, and left with a twinkle in his eye. It turned out he was just a regular who loved puns and clever wordplay.
3. At dawn, when most Walgreens are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd: boxes of Band-Aids were disappearing from the shelves faster than anyone could buy them. Curious, he followed the trail of empty spaces and found an elderly gentleman stocking the shelves with unusual diligence. Turns out, the old guy was just making sure everyone had enough band-aids for their morning cuts—because, as he said, ‘you never know when you might scrape your knee!’
4. At midnight, when Walgreens employees were packing up for the night, someone heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Don’t forget your dreams tonight—Walgreens wishes you sweet sleep.’ The next morning, everyone in the store was laughing about it. A delivery driver joked, 'Guess I’ll never be late again!' And from then on, whenever anyone left something behind, they’d hear, 'Remember to pick up your package—Walgreens wishes you a smooth day!'
