About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does that old delivery truck always honk its horn three times when it pulls up?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘That’s because it’s our secret signal that the coffee pot is full.’ The regular nodded knowingly, then added with a twinkle in his eye, ‘And I thought it was just an old truck being… friendly!’

2. In the early mornings, a neighbor would often wake up to an eerie humming sound coming from Walgreens. Curious, they investigated and found no one around. The humming continued for weeks until one day, a regular noticed it too—and realized it only played during certain hours of the night. Finally, a delivery driver mentioned hearing it late at night. Turned out, the air conditioning unit had malfunctioned and was set on a strange frequency. After fixing it, the humming stopped—leaving behind only a funny story for everyone in the neighborhood.

3. One day, while restocking shelves, a Walgreens employee noticed something odd in the pharmacy aisle—a small box labeled ‘Emergency Kit’ that seemed suspiciously empty. Upon opening it, they found only an old piece of paper with handwritten instructions: 'In case of emergency, please ask for help.' Turns out, it was just someone’s forgotten joke—left there by a delivery driver who thought it would be funny.

4. In the late afternoon, a little girl walked into Walgreens with her mother. As they approached the checkout counter, she pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mommy, look! The cashier’s nametag says “Pharmacy”!' Her mom laughed gently, ruffling her hair. ‘Honey, that’s because his job is in the Pharmacy section,’ she explained. Just then, an old man behind them cleared his throat and said, “Actually, ma’am, my name tag just fell off.” Everyone burst out laughing, including the cashier who was now blushing.}
