About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked angrily, ‘Why does Walgreens always run out of Band-Aids right when I need them?’ A pharmacist calmly replied, ‘Sir, you’ve never bought anything else from us.’ The driver grumbled and left, muttering something about bad luck with Walgreens. Later that day, his neighbor popped in for some cough drops and joked, “Guess they finally got your favorite Band-Aids back!” — ending the saga on a light note.

2. In one quiet Walgreens, a regular noticed something unusual in the checkout aisle—a mysterious bottle labeled simply ‘Energy Booster.’ No price tag or instructions were attached. Curious, he picked it up and scanned the barcode on his phone—nothing came up. Just as he was about to ask the cashier, an impatient delivery driver elbowed him aside, muttered something about needing insulin stat, and snatched the bottle. The next day, everyone in town knew that Walgreens had started selling secret energy boosters only available to the first customer who accidentally left their ID behind.

3. At night, when the store closed, customers began noticing strange noises coming from behind the pharmacy counters. A little boy, visiting with his family, whispered to his mom, 'Mom, why do those bottles move on their own?' One night, a delivery driver heard whispers and saw shadows moving among the shelves. Curious, he approached only to discover a small cat playing with the pill bottles. The next morning, everyone agreed it was just another Walgreens tale—until they found out the cat had stolen several aspirin samples.

4. In a small town Walgreens, after hours, a curious child noticed something odd: every night, right before closing, a shadowy figure seemed to stock shelves with invisible hands. One night, an excited delivery driver arrived just as the store was locking up. He saw the shadow and asked curiously, ‘Who’s been helping you restock?’ The owner smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘Oh, that’s our new part-time ghost employee—works only late nights!’
