About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were almost empty and only a few customers lingered, an old man started appearing in front of the pharmacy’s closed doors. No one knew who he was or where he came from, but every evening around seven o’clock, there he stood—waiting. One night, a delivery driver arrived with a misplaced package. Thinking it was for him, the old man eagerly took it, saying, 'Finally, something new!' The next morning, everyone laughed as they found out it was a box of expired cough syrup.

2. One morning, while the pharmacist was counting pills in the back room, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention Walgreens staff—we’re out of Band-Aids in size medium.’ The pharmacist scratched his head and replied into the intercom: 'We don’t sell Band-Aids here—try the grocery store next door!' A moment later, a gruff voice responded: 'I’m not from around here. Can you please send someone with a medium-sized Band-Aid?' Turns out it was just a confused delivery driver who needed a snack.

3. In the early hours of dawn, when Walgreens’ parking lot was deserted but for one lone car, a delivery driver noticed something odd. In the shadow of the pharmacy’s entrance stood a small, wrapped package. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it contained a freshly baked pie. Confused and hungry, the delivery driver cut into the pie. To his surprise, every slice was filled with his favorite chocolate chip cookies! Turns out, someone had accidentally packed a batch of homemade treats instead of medication. From then on, whenever anyone needed a late-night snack, they’d just leave a pie in Walgreens' parking lot—a friendly urban legend that brought neighbors together.

4. In the early hours of dawn, when Walgreens’ parking lot was deserted but for one sleepy security guard, a small dog approached the entrance. It sniffed curiously at the glass doors, then suddenly yelped—its nose had stuck halfway through the automatic sensor! Frantic barking echoed through the quiet street as passersby began waking up. A delivery driver happened upon the commotion and calmly opened the door with his keycard. The little dog scrambled inside, tail wagging furiously, while the security guard laughed sheepishly. Turns out it was just an overly curious pooch on its morning adventure. From that day forward, Walgreens installed a cute sign reading, 'Paws Welcome, But Please Mind Our Sensor.'
