About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Walgreens closed its doors, an old man began appearing in the parking lot. He’d push a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty bottles and boxes, humming softly as he walked around the perimeter. Employees noticed him first, but soon customers started talking about the ‘ghostly shopper’ who never took anything. One day, a delivery driver saw the old man and offered him a box of free samples from inside. The ghostly figure smiled, nodded his head, and continued his rounds. Months later, during a staff meeting, someone mentioned that they hadn’t seen him for ages—until a new employee asked, ‘Who’s that nice old guy always pushing an empty cart?’

2. In the early morning hours, before sunrise and when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside the Walgreens. A small dog kept running up to him, wagging its tail and nudging a familiar plastic bag. Curious, he opened it to find a note that read, ‘I know you work late nights—here’s some treats for your hard work.’ Below was a bag of freshly baked cookies and a smiley face drawn on the counter with chalk. Turned out, a neighbor had been leaving snacks for everyone who delivered to Walgreens after hours.

3. At dawn, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes, he heard a voice behind him: ‘Hey, slow down there!’ Turning around, no one was there. The driver looked around nervously but saw only empty parking lots. Shrugging it off as his imagination playing tricks, he continued with his work. Later that day, an elderly gentleman approached him and asked for help finding something in the store. The driver smiled and replied, 'No worries, sir—just like yesterday morning!'

4. In the middle of the night, when Walgreens was dark and quiet, a small dog started barking furiously outside the pharmacy's door. No one could figure out why until they noticed the neon sign flickering ominously. It turned out that the neon sign was malfunctioning, casting eerie shadows on the pavement. The barking stopped as soon as the sign was fixed, much to everyone’s relief. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Walgreens late at night, people would joke about the ‘talkative canine’ who only spoke up when the lights were wonky.
