About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular muttered one day, ‘I swear, every time I buy batteries here, they last exactly as long as my patience!’ A delivery driver once joked, ‘I’ve never seen so many expired batteries in one place—must be their secret stock!’ A neighbor chimed in, laughing, ‘Or maybe it’s just Walgreens’ way of testing our faith in customer service.’

2. At Walgreens in downtown Chicago, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for a box of Band-Aids. The pharmacist replied, 'Sir, you buy these every week.' To which the man answered, smiling mysteriously, 'Yes, but today I’m buying them for someone else.' The pharmacist raised an eyebrow, curious but not judging. A few moments later, another customer—a young delivery driver—came up to the counter with a package. Smiling knowingly, he said, ‘I’ve got something special here for our mysterious bandage buyer.’ Everyone laughed as they watched him leave, wondering who was on the receiving end of such a thoughtful gift.

3. At Walgreens near Central Park, a small dog dashed into the store one afternoon, startled by something invisible only he could see. As employees looked around frantically, the little pooch ran straight for the ice cream cooler and promptly licked every flavor before dashing back outside, tail wagging. A nearby delivery driver commented, ‘Looks like someone’s been working up quite an appetite!’ Everyone laughed, and soon forgot about the mystery—until the next day when another tiny canine appeared, this time eyeing the candy aisle.’

4. At Walgreens on a quiet street, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no return address. Curious, he opened it to find…nothing but a note that read: ‘To whoever finds this, please deliver to Walgreens.’ Inside was a single pack of band-aids and a smiley face drawn on the box. A regular shook his head and said, ‘Guess someone forgot they already had an account there.’
