About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package. As he stepped inside, an old lady glanced up from her magazine and whispered, ‘I’ve seen that man here before…’ The delivery driver shrugged it off and went about his business. Later, as he was leaving, he noticed an elderly gentleman waiting outside. The neighbor smiled and said, ‘Hey, I saw you coming in earlier too—must be your route!’ They both laughed, realizing they’d accidentally met twice. The world is small, indeed.

2. One morning, a Walgreens employee found an unusual item in the shopping cart return bin—a tiny ceramic unicorn with sparkling eyes. Nobody claimed it, and soon everyone started noticing similar oddities around the store. Soon enough, employees began finding everything from old action figures to vintage postcards. One day, a delivery driver even left behind a small box of candy hearts with mysterious messages like ‘Your smile is contagious’—which turned out to be from a neighbor who’d been secretly watching over the store after hours.

3. In the early hours of the morning, a sleepy Walgreens employee noticed something peculiar: a small dog diligently trying to pay for a bag of treats using its paws on the self-checkout. The cashier smiled and scanned the treats, watching as the little dog wagged happily while waiting for its change. A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with his own groceries. ‘That’s quite the entertainer,’ he remarked with a chuckle. The employee nodded, amused but not surprised—apparently, Walgreens was becoming known in the neighborhood for its late-night performances.

4. In the quiet hours before dawn, a Walgreens employee stocking shelves heard a strange noise behind him. Turning around, he saw something odd—a small envelope, seemingly out of place. Curious, he picked it up and noticed it was addressed to ‘Pharmacy Manager’ in an unfamiliar handwriting. Inside was a note saying simply, ‘Don’t forget to restock aspirin.’ The next day, everyone in the store had a good laugh—except maybe the delivery driver who accidentally left that envelope behind.
