About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens late one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This place is haunted.’ Since then, employees claim they’ve seen shadowy figures in the aisles after closing. One evening, an old neighbor popped in for some cough drops and claimed he saw a ghostly figure behind the counter. When asked if he needed help, the apparition just smiled and pointed towards the door—leaving as mysteriously as it arrived. Since then, everyone jokes that Walgreens has its own resident ghost-bagger.

2. At Walgreens early in the morning, a delivery driver paused mid-unloading and scratched his head. 'What's that smell?' he asked himself, sniffing the air. The scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the open door, but no oven was visible. Curious, he looked around the corner and saw an old lady smiling from behind the counter. ‘Oh, those are my special holiday cookies,’ she said. ‘They’re for everyone who comes in today.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll believe my nose before my eyes!’

3. At Walgreens on a stormy midnight, an old lady whispered to herself as she counted bottles of aspirin: ‘I’m not sure why I came here, but now that I’m here, maybe it’s fate.’ Finally, after what seemed like hours, a sleep-deprived delivery driver arrived with her prescription. With a tired smile, he asked if everything was okay. She replied softly, ‘Oh yes, dear, just checking if life has a sense of humor.’

4. At Walgreens during rush hour, a frustrated customer growled, 'Why does it always take forever for someone here to scan just ONE item?' Finally, an exasperated pharmacist yelled back, ‘Sir, I’m scanning as fast as I can—there’s a line of twenty people behind you!’ A relieved customer whispered to his neighbor, ‘Guess I’ll never know why they call it “rush” hour.’
