About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman approached the Walgreens counter with a curious expression. The pharmacist looked up and asked if he needed help. ‘I just wanted to say,’ the man began, ‘that every time I come here, your sign outside says something different.’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Ah, well sir, that's because our sign is designed that way—we rotate the messages daily!' The old man nodded thoughtfully, then said, 'I see. And today’s message seems particularly fitting.' With a twinkle in his eye, he added, 'It must be someone's birthday around here.'

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Walgreens and noticed something peculiar. As he opened the van door, a strange humming sound filled the air, growing louder with each step toward the entrance. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old alarm clock ticking away on the counter. The humming stopped abruptly as if someone had turned off a switch. A regular customer, passing by, chuckled and said, 'Must be their new energy-saving policy!'

3. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, a neighbor stopped by the Walgreens and asked, 'Do you sell happiness here?' The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘We sell aspirin for headaches, but happiness is something you have to bring yourself.’ The neighbor nodded thoughtfully and left, muttering under his breath, ‘Guess I’ll just have to mix my own then.’

4. A regular customer entered Walgreens one evening, clutching a small package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the checkout counter, the cashier noticed something peculiar: every time she scanned the item, it seemed to change. Finally, the cashier asked curiously, ‘What on earth are you buying?’ The man replied with a smile, ‘Just some special-order cookies for my wife.’ The cashier laughed and said, ‘No wonder they keep changing—they’re probably made-to-order!’
