About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning at Walgreens, a delivery driver said to himself, 'I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that same shopping basket here before.' He looked around suspiciously but saw only a regular customer pushing a similar basket. Smiling sheepishly, he continued his route. Later, as he was unloading packages, an elderly lady approached him with a smile and asked if he needed help finding something. Turning red, he mumbled, ‘No thanks, just trying not to miss my exit.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens one afternoon and noticed an unusual sight: a neighbor frantically trying to unlock their car with a hairbrush. The delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Ma’am, you might want to try something pointier than that!’ The neighbor looked embarrassed but grateful as she switched to using her keys. They both shared a laugh, and soon enough, the car unlocked with a triumphant click.

3. A neighborhood kid was delivering newspapers early one morning when he stumbled upon something odd inside Walgreens. He noticed that every time someone bought aspirin, they left exactly two minutes later—never more, never less. Curious, the boy followed a few customers and saw them entering the store with just enough money for aspirin—and leaving precisely two minutes later, always smiling. Turns out, it was an elderly gentleman who worked night shifts at the local diner next door. He’d buy his daily aspirin from Walgreens, then pop across the street for breakfast before clocking in—all in exactly two minutes flat.

4. One day after school, a curious child walked into Walgreens and overheard a cashier whispering to another employee about a mysterious package left in the backroom. The cashier leaned closer and whispered, ‘It’s supposed to be delivered tonight.’ The other nodded mysteriously. Later that evening, as the sun set, an anonymous neighbor dropped off a giant box marked ‘Top Secret’. Everyone gathered around curiously when they opened it—inside was just a big bag of candy! It turned out to be a prank from the local pharmacist, who loved making everyone smile.
