About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Walgreens parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he left it be until another customer found it later that day. Curiously, the package contained nothing more than an old newspaper clipping of a local band’s concert from ten years ago. A regular customer who happened to recognize the headline joked, ‘Looks like someone forgot to recycle their keepsake!’ The delivery driver laughed and said, “Guess they’ll be back for their time capsule next year.”

2. One night, after closing, an employee heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Walgreens, your midnight visitor is here.’ Curious, they checked the store—but found no one. The next day, a delivery driver noticed a strange note on the door: ‘Open only when needed.’ From then on, whenever there was a power outage in town, locals would gather around Walgreens’ empty windows and whisper, ‘Maybe they’re open today?’ Turns out, it was just the owner’s cat, Mr. Whiskers, who loved sitting in the darkened store, watching the streetlights reflect off his fur.

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar—an old man was quietly standing inside, counting bottles on the shelves. The delivery driver smiled and asked if he needed help. The old man looked up with twinkling eyes and replied, 'Just making sure everything is in its proper place.' Turns out, he was a regular volunteer who helped stock shelves after his evening stroll. By dawn, they were chatting like neighbors over coffee, and the driver left thinking, ‘That Walgreens must really be someone’s second home.’

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens and froze. The air was filled with a strange scent—like fresh-baked cookies mixed with old books. He sniffed again, certain he’d never forget that smell. Curious, he opened the door—a warm glow bathed him in its light. Inside, an elderly pharmacist hummed softly as she sorted through bottles. ‘Ah,’ she said, noticing him for the first time. ‘Just in time for our midnight cookie exchange!’ The delivery driver blinked, then smiled, realizing it wasn’t magic but simply Walgreens’ legendary late-night bake sales.
