About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Walgreens usually buzzes with activity, an old man began arriving daily. He’d quietly fill his shopping basket with items no one else ever bought. One morning, a delivery driver noticed him buying twenty tubes of toothpaste in different flavors. ‘Sir,’ asked the perplexed employee, ‘do you collect them?’ The old man smiled and whispered, 'No, I just like variety!' And so, Walgreens learned that some people truly do buy everything but toothpaste.'

2. At midnight, when most pharmacies are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd: boxes of aspirin arranged alphabetically. Curious, he asked the night manager, who shrugged and said it must be some new organizational trend from corporate headquarters. The next day, every box was back in its usual jumbled pile—except for one lonely bottle of ibuprofen, neatly labeled ‘Z’. A delivery driver quipped that maybe Walgreens had hired a secret alphabetizing elf.

3. In the early mornings, before sunrise, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from inside the Walgreens. Employees first thought it was just the air conditioning, but soon realized it wasn’t any ordinary hum. Curious, they investigated and found an old radio playing soft jazz in the stockroom. Turned out, it belonged to an elderly a neighbor who sometimes left it there when visiting his granddaughter working night shifts. Ever since then, employees greet each morning with a smile, knowing their Walgreens has its own unique tune.

4. At closing time one night, a voice crackled over Walgreens’ intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucers to aisle three.’ Next morning, no one took it seriously until an elderly neighbor popped in and asked if they had any alien souvenirs left. A cashier shrugged and said, 'Only ones with price tags.' The whole town burst out laughing—and realized it was just another late-night Walgreens prank.
