About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package. As he walked inside, customers noticed an unusual scent filling the air—something sweet yet strange, like honey mixed with vanilla. Suddenly, a voice from behind said, ‘Hey, that’s my favorite perfume!’ Everyone turned around to see an elderly lady smiling warmly. It was just her new batch of homemade fragrance samples she’d left in the store earlier. The whole incident became a neighborhood joke, and people started calling Walgreens the ‘scent of the day’ pharmacy.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package. The clerk glanced curiously as he scanned it, but before anyone could ask questions, an announcement crackled over the store’s PA: ‘Attention, everyone—our new self-checkout scanner can now detect when you’re holding an item too long.’ Everyone froze for a moment, then started swiping items faster than ever before. A regular muttered, ‘Now I get why they call it “self-checkout”!’ Soon enough, the mystery package was scanned and gone, leaving behind only giggles and confused looks. The next day, no one mentioned anything unusual—except maybe that cashier who insisted their new scanner had saved them from a potential theft.

3. Early morning fog clung to the streets when an old man shuffled into Walgreens. He asked for aspirin and whispered something about seeing ghostly figures in the aisles. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded, handing him a packet of aspirin. As he left, the old man mumbled, ‘They’re gone now… thank goodness.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver walked in, complaining about seeing a ghostly figure pushing shopping carts around the parking lot. The pharmacist just smiled and said, “Welcome to Walgreens, sir.”

4. Early in the morning, before sunrise, a curious cat began appearing outside Walgreens, always at exactly 4:17 AM. One foggy morning, an old delivery driver slowed down, thinking he saw something strange through the mist. It was just the same cat, sitting there with its paw on the door, as if it had pressing business inside. The store opened early, but not THAT early—until someone noticed the cash register ringing up one dollar every time the cat appeared. Turned out, the cat was Walgreens’ unseen night auditor!
