About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts. A small, brightly wrapped package sat there, untouched and unnoticed among the usual groceries. Curious, he opened it carefully—inside was just a note: ‘To our best customer, free candy!’ Turned out, an enthusiastic neighbor had been leaving little treats for the regulars. The whole store burst into laughter when they realized they’d all been unwitting recipients of this sweet prank.

2. One night, an overnight technician was scanning shelves for expired items when he heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old vending machine playing the same tune. Turns out, it was stuck on a loop, entertaining everyone who came in late at night. The next morning, a delivery driver jokingly said, ‘Guess Walgreens has its own DJ now!’

3. One foggy morning, as a pharmacist prepared prescriptions behind the counter, he caught a whiff of something peculiar—a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafting from the back room. Curious, he followed his nose and found an elderly neighbor secretly baking chocolate chip cookies in the storage area. Turns out she’d been doing it every week for years, leaving a few treats for anyone who needed a little sweet pick-me-up. The pharmacist smiled, thinking maybe Walgreens had its own special brand of medicine after all.

4. One day, while waiting for his prescription, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they’ve run out of Band-Aids again?’ Before anyone could respond, a voice from behind the counter said, ‘Sir, you’re holding one right now!’ A few minutes later, an exhausted delivery driver approached the counter, complaining about his sore back. The pharmacist asked him to bend over, and as he did so, she cheerfully exclaimed, 'Oh, I see your Band-Aids are showing!'
